Deep Time Edinburgh Walk

By EFI and Sustainability in Education Research Group

Overview

Embark on a journey through geological time. This guided walk up Arthur's Seat will uncover the ancient forces that shaped the city.

Join a 4.6km Deep Time Walk to travel across Earth's 4.6 billion year timeline at a rate of one million years per metre. Starting at the formation of the solar system and the creation of Earth, Deep Time Walk covers significant events in Earth's deep history, including the formation of the Moon, plate tectonics, the early evolution of life, dinosaurs and much more. The walk will put into context humanity's rich ancestral heritage and give you an insight into the interconnectedness of all life and a deep time perspective of Edinburgh.

The walk is led by Robert Woodford (co-founder of Deep Time Walk Project) in association with University of Edinburgh. We will start/end at Dynamic Earth entrance.

Please dress appropriately for this outdoor event including sensible footwear and waterproof clothing.
