Sciences and incorporated several research staff from biological sciences. In 2019, the School became the
Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences within a much larger School of Natural Sciences after Faculty restructure. New funding for the William Research Centre in 2001 contributed to geomicrobiological laboratories. Research in sedimentology and basin studies was developed with computer imaging hardware, and isotope research further enhanced with the centre established in 2004.

In 1960, Fred
Broadhurst, leading a first year paleontology field course to Robin Hood’s Bay, found ‘a complete skeleton of a fossil Plesiosaurus which was later excavated and brought back to Manchester and exhibited’. The fossil was affectionately named ‘Percy’. The finding and excavation of ‘Percy’

Victoria University of Manchester until 1892 at the time of his resignation, as geology had been established separately in 1872 and zoology in 1879. William Boyd Dawkins took the Chair of Geology in

Also In 1960, the
Williamson building, designed by Harry M Fairhurst with artwork by sculptor Lynn Chadwick - the Manchester Sun mural, became the site for the departments of geology, botany and zoology. The Department’s heritage information states that, ‘In the 1990s botany and zoology moved out to

The
Honours School in Geology and Mineralogy was established in 1881, and in 1887, new laboratories (the Beyer Laboratories) were opened to provide facilities for the Departments of Botany, Geology and Zoology. At the same time, the new Manchester Museum opened its present site on Oxford Road.

One of the first research groups to be established at the
