Book Synopsis A revised correlation of Tertiary rocks in the British Isles and adjacent areas of NW Europe by : C. King
Download or read book A revised correlation of Tertiary rocks in the British Isles and adjacent areas of NW Europe written by C. King and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Special Report comprehensively describes the stratigraphy and correlation of the Tertiary (Paleogene–Neogene) rocks of NW Europe and the adjacent Atlantic Ocean and is the summation of fifty years of research on Tertiary sediments by Chris King. His book is essential reading for all geologists who deal with Tertiary rocks across NW Europe, including those in the petroleum industry and geotechnical services as well as academic stratigraphers and palaeontologists. Introductory sections on chronostratigraphy, biostratigraphy and other methods of dating and correlation are followed by a regional summary of Tertiary sedimentary basins and their framework and an introduction to Tertiary igneous rocks. The third and largest segment comprises the regional stratigraphic summaries. Regions covered are the North Sea Basin, onshore areas of southern England and the eastern English Channel area, the North Atlantic margins (including non-marine basins in the Irish Sea and elsewhere) and the Paleogene igneous rocks of Scotland.
Book Synopsis Stratigraphy of the British Isles by : Dorothy Helen Rayner
Download or read book Stratigraphy of the British Isles written by Dorothy Helen Rayner and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1981-06-04 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a reprint of the second edition of Dr Rayner's standard text on the stratigraphy and historical geology of the British Isles. The book is written for undergraduates and other readers who may have only a general acquaintance with the broad principles of geology. An introductory chapter reviews the basic principles of stratigraphy, geochronology and tectonics. The various geological systems found in the British Isles are then considered in turn. A valuable feature of the book is the extensive treatment of different regional areas within the discussion of a particular geological system. In the final chapter the author reviews briefly those major economic resources that are related to stratigraphy. Throughout the text care has been taken to introduce the plate tectonic interpretation of stratigraphic features. Much more is known about the neighbouring continental shelf and the geology of sea floors and this also is included in order to provide a comprehensive integrated account of the geological history of the British Isles.
Book Synopsis British Tertiary Volcanic Province by : C.H. Emeleus
Download or read book British Tertiary Volcanic Province written by C.H. Emeleus and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When setting out to produce the Geological Conservation Review series the then Nature Conservancy Council rightly selected the British Tertiary Volcanic Province as one of its front-running topics. By any standards the Province is one of the outstanding features of British geology. It has contributed to the development of geological ideas, applied world-wide, over about 200 years, and holds a continuing position as a focus for international research. A prime earth science concern of any conservation agency must be to preserve the evidence on which scientific advances have been based, and to ensure that future generations have an opportunity to study the problems that remain. Of course, geological features are generally speaking pretty robust. Casual and thoughtless destruction on a grand scale, to which biological assemblages are so vulnerable, is not generally a serious problem. But geological knowledge depends on seeing the relationships between rock masses, the critical areas of outcrop may be few and far between, both in Highland Scotland with its peat moors and forests and in the agricultural lands to the south. It is documentation of these sites showing critical inter-relationships that is the business of the Geological Conservation Review series. This volume provides the NCC's successor body, Scottish Natural Heritage, with the scientific justification to safeguard the described sites, which are the highlights of the Province.

Book Synopsis British Stratigraphy by : Frank A. Middlemiss
Download or read book British Stratigraphy written by Frank A. Middlemiss and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is primarily intended to assist candidates studying geology for the Ordinary Level of G.c.E., and examinations of comparable standard, but it should also be found useful by the" reader requiring a rapid conspectus of the geological history of Britain, and as forming a basis for more advanced work. The scope of the subject matter necessitated a narrow and slippery path be tween over-simplification and excessive detail, but the balance adopted is based upon the experience of many years of teaching at all levels, and of examining for the London G.C.E. Board. The maps, combining outcrop dis tribution with palaeogeography, presented some difficulty, especially for periods of continuously changing geography, such as the Cretaceous. It was necessary in these cases to make an arbitrary choice of one small part of the period, the geography of which could be illustrated. Candidates are advised not to spend time learning every detail of the outcrop patterns, but to con centrate upon the main areas of outcrop. I am indebted to Mrs. Jean Fyffe for the cartographic work.
Book Synopsis The Geological Evolution of the British Isles by : T. R. Owen

Book Synopsis British Upper Carboniferous Stratigraphy by : C.J. Cleal
Download or read book British Upper Carboniferous Stratigraphy written by C.J. Cleal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume summarizes the results of a survey of British Upper Carboniferous sites, undertaken between 1978 and 1990 as part of the Geological Conservation Review (GCR). The GCR was the first attempt to assess the scientific significance of all Britain's geological sites and has proved a landmark in the development of a coherent geological conservation strategy in this country. To ensure that the assessments were based on a firm logical and scientific foundation, the range of scientific interest was divided into ninety-seven discrete subject 'blocks', reflecting the natural divisions of stratigraphy, palaeogeography and geological process; Westphalian stratigraphy and Namurian stratigraphy were two of these blocks. The first stage in the survey was a review of the literature, to establish a compre hensive database of sites. From this, a provisional list of potentially significant sites was made and this was circulated to all relevant specialists in this country and abroad. At the same time, the sites were visited to assess their physical condition and whether the interest was still extant. In some cases, excavation (so-called 'site-cleaning') was carried out to see if the interest of a site could be resurrected or enhanced. The com ments made by the specialists and the field observations were then used to produce a second site list, which again was circulated for comment.

Book Synopsis The Geology of Thailand by : Michael Frederick Ridd
Download or read book The Geology of Thailand written by Michael Frederick Ridd and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2011 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume in the English language to cover the entire range of the geology of Thailand since the joint Thai-US account by Brown et al. exactly 60 years ago. Over this period there has been a phenomenal growth in interest in this core area of SE Asia. This has been led by geologists in Thailand, but with important and highly significant input from geologists based elsewhere in Asia and in Europe, Australasia and North America. Some of that research was prompted by commercial considerations, since Thailand has important energy and mineral resources, while other research has sought to understand better the stratigraphic and structural history, including the plate-tectonic story which Thailand's rocks reveal. This new volume seeks to bring together all of this knowledge into a single accessible book; it is the work of an international team drawn from Thailand, Japan, Australia, USA, Canada, Germany and the UK.
