Geologists from Planet Earth

Press/Media: Relating to Research

Description

Biopic of Adrian Finch: Geology as a journey through generations

Adrian Finch hailed from South London and - in his own words - started out utterly hopeless at fieldwork. His lifelong love of crystal structures led him to research into car catalysts and superconductors, before settling on the Arctic for a love affair with geology that, despite hurricane-force winds on a remote Greenlandic nunatak, proved irresistible. It's a testament to stubbornness, mentorship, and an unyielding passion for understanding the Earth.
