Brunsden's Jurassic World Heritage coast, Dorset, UK tribute and account of the EGGS field excursion, 13–15 June 2025

A tribute and account of the Engineering Group of the Geological Society's (EGGS) field excursion to West Dorset, held from 13–15 June 2025, honors the late Professor Denys Brunsden. Brunsden, a pioneer in coastal research, led the EGGS trip in 1972 and played a pivotal role in securing UNESCO World Heritage status for the Dorset and East Devon Coast in 2001. The account details visits to significant sites such as the Brunsden Memory Stone, Tout Quarry, Portland, and iconic landforms like West Bay, Stonebarrow Hill, Charmouth, Black Ven, and Lyme Regis. It provides an illustrated overview of the site's geological features, topics discussed during the excursion, further reading recommendations, and underscores the enduring significance of Brunsden's contributions to both local and international geoscience.
