The Suomenlinna Fortress Island, located just outside the city center of Helsinki, is a World Heritage site that was constructed as protection against Russian expansionism in the mid 18th century. Suomenlinna (or Viapori or Sveaborg) comprises of eight islands, and it is a popular tourist attraction, but also enjoyed by the local population of 900 permanent inhabitants.
Besides the rich history and culture, Suomenlinna provides an excellent opportunity to observe the crystalline 1.9 Ga old rocks that were deformed and metamorphosed during the Svecofennian orogeny.
During the walk-around – excursion, we will visit the glacially polished shoreline outcrops of the Suomenlinna island, where we will get insight into which types of ductile and brittle fabrics were developed into the rocks during and right after the ancient mountain-building processes.
Furthermore, we will learn how these structures subsequently contributed to the glacial erosion that finally shaped the islands into their present-day shape.
The duration of the walk is 2,5 hours and its length is approximately 5 km. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and warm clothing. Please note that this field trip is not wheelchair accessible.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you pick up your complimentary ferry ticket at the registration desk, on Wednesday from 08:30 to 16:00.

This field trip will examine the connection between the surface and subsurface geology of a region and
land use, human impacts, and conservation. Our journey will illustrate the historic, current, and future
connection between humanity and Earth’s resources with multiple stops including Siccar Point and the
John Muir Museum in Dunbar. This field trip attempts to illustrate those connections by investigating
the relationship between bedrock geology, biodiversity, and human impacts. The selection of Siccar
Point and the Muir Museum will provide historical context illustrating early examples of citizen science
and the inexplicable connection between geology and conservation.
The scenery is breathtaking, the town of Dunbar welcoming (boasting the cleanest public bathrooms in
Scotland) and the conversation designed to provide new perspectives and energize participants to think
about the importance of the social license to operate and how to promote the ethos leading to
successful timely projects.

Salpausselkä UNESCO
Global Geopark guide and Geopark Partner
UNESCO designated Salpausselkä Geopark is situated in the Lahti region in southern Finland, few hours drive from Helsinki. The First and Second Salpausselkä are unique ice-marginal formations laid down by ancient meltwater streams at the end of the Ice Age. They reach across the entirety of southern Finland and are at their most spectacular in the area of Salpausselkä Geopark.
Salpausselkä Geopark includes internationally acknowledged geological formations and a rich cultural heritage. On this field trip, you will experience both. For example, we will visit Tiirismaa Pirunpesä (Devil’s Nest, Häränsilmä kettle pond and drive along Pulkkilanharju esker.
Field trip starts from conference venue at 08:30 and group will return to Helsinki around 19:00. Trip includes transportation, lunch and snacks.
