The Alexander du Toit Memorial Lecture Series

Every two years, a speaker is invited to give a lecture in honour of one of South Africa's most historically influential geologists. The series recognises world-class research in geoscience, giving GSSA members access to both the work and the people behind the research.

Our Wandering Continents

The biennial lecture is related to the geology or natural history of southern Africa, or on a topic that contributes to our understanding of southern African geology, and is framed in the model of du Toit's seminal text, Our Wandering Continents. It is delivered at the GSSA main centre, branches, and divisions around the country, and at our partner organisations where possible.

These outstanding organisations make our work possible.
