Tuesday 8th July 2025 | 6pm Dr Mark Ireland, Senior Lecturer in Energy Geoscience and Associate Dean Global Partnerships, Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering, Newcastle University Inspired by Recent Investigations in Geology (3 lectures by Prof Ansted, 1867-1868 Lecture Season) David Thomas Ansted F.R.S. (5 February 1814 – 13 May 1880) was an English professor of geology and author of numerous books on geology. Talk 3: The heating potential of geothermal energy The International Energy Agency identifies that almost half of building energy demand was for space and water heating. In the UK, the heating of buildings (homes, commercial, and public) accounts for 23% of carbon emissions. So, as part of a least-cost pathway to meet our net-zero commitment, there are targets to expand the use of heat networks by 2050. Geothermal energy could provide a sustainable and widely accessible option for heating and contribute to the expansion of low-carbon heat networks. The utilization of geothermal energy for heat is established, but the successful exploration and characterization of geothermal resources is in its infancy in the UK. In this talk, we will explore the role that it can play in providing low-carbon and secure energy.

Saturday 19th July | 10am-11.30am Suitable for ages 7+ Exploring 200 Years of Exciting Lit & Phil Experiments and Demonstrations Scientists Neil and Diane Downie will show and tell you all about demonstrations from the Lit & Phil's history over the last 200 years! The demonstrations are novel, but will hark back to the Age of Steam, to the key discoveries in transport, hydraulics, lighting and telecommunication. You’ll see how vacuum can be used to operate engines and railways, how a light bulb can also be used to measure the faintest puff of wind, and how messages can be sent over miles of wires in simple ways. They will come right up to the present day with an commercially available invention nick-named the Mollimeter, for measuring molecular weight, and a novel kind of semi-electronic musical instrument. Most of the demonstrations you can try yourself at the end. And we’ll have a (free!) little something for parents to take away for children.
