The session covers glacial geomorphology and its landforms, with examples from the UK and elsewhere, then how glaciers influence and respond to climate across timescales and the current state of the world's glaciers. It also includes first principles for those new to the topic, new research for the more confident, and a focus on ways of teaching glaciation.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/glaciers-landscapes-and-climate-concepts-for-a-level-teachin-135199/", "official_url": "https://www.rgs.org/events/upcoming-events/glaciers-landscapes-climate-a-level-teaching/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/8f48d259fb946ac91be277a0fd066c59c8e1211a0035a375c3ca5c6b4018bfe5-2000.webp"}, {"title": "Flamsteed Lecture: the secret history of a space mission", "start": "2026-11-16T19:15:00Z", "end": null, "place": "National Maritime Museum", "address": "Romney Road, SE10 9NF London", "price": "Flamsteed Members: FREE | Guests of Flamsteed Members: £15 | Royal Museums Greenwich Members: £12", "price_from": "15.00", "price_to": "15.00", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["science/astronomy/space"], "description": "A Flamsteed Astronomy Society lecture held at the National Maritime Museum.
