Download or read book The Geology of Scotland, 4th edition written by N. H. Trewin and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2003-02-24 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 4th edition of The Geology of Scotland is greatly expanded from the previous edition with 34 authors contributing to 20 chapters. A new format has been adopted to provide a different perspective on the geology of Scotland. A brief introduction is followed by a chapter outlining some of the important historical aspects that in the 19th century placed Scottish geologists in the forefront of a new science. Scotland is constructed from a number of terranes that finally combined in roughly their present positions prior to about 410 million years ago. Thus the geology of each terrane is described up the time of amalgamation, providing chapters on the Southern Uplands, Midland Valley, Highlands, Grampian and Hebridean terranes. At the end of this section, a brief synthesis summarizes the events that resulted in the amalgamation of the various terranes into the present configuration. Traditional practice is followed in the description of the Old Red Sandstone, Carboniferous, Permo-Trias, Jurassic, Cretaceous, tertiary and Quaternary strata. A separate chapter covers Tertiary igneous rocks. An attempt is made to tell the story of the geological evolution of Scotland, rather than catalogue all areas and formations. Priority is given to the onshore geology, encouraging the reader to go into the field and visit some of the world-class geology on show in Scotland. The chapters are broadly-based, attempting to integrate the sedimentary and igneous histories, and summarize changes in palaeogeography and palaeoenvironments. Economic aspects are covered with chapters on Metalliferous Minerals, Bulk Resources, Coal and Hydrocarbons. A new departure is the chapter on aspects of Environmental Geology and sustainability. Additionally, this publication contains a colour section of 32 plates, illustrating aspects of Scottish Geology, as well as a coloured geological map of Scotland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "These imaginative stories are accompanied by pictures of fossils and of the places as they are seen today with the author's careful reconstructive drawings of these ancient environments. The safaris are presented as stories but they are firmly based on published scientific evidence relating to the fossils and rocks of Scotland. The author's intention is that this book will not only inform the reader about the ancient environments of Scotland, but also entertain and encourage further speculation. The book will appeal to all students, academics and amateurs interested in fossils, ecology, and the ancient environments that have prevailed at different times in the past on our planet."--BOOK JACKET.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remote mountain loch of Lochnagar is one of the most studied freshwater bodies in Europe. This book brings together knowledge gained over two decades of multi-disciplinary scientific study, with the results of lake sediment research covering millennia, to show how the loch has developed both naturally and as a result of human impact. Particular emphasis is placed on how this fragile ecosystem, and others like it, may be affected by future climate change.

Download or read book Excursion Guide to the Geology of East Sutherland and Caithness written by N. H. Trewin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the geology of Scotland's East Sutherland and Caithness regions, and includes guides to geological excursions. This area contains many excellent localities that are popular for instructional field courses and recreational visits to view the geology and to collect fossils. The area is also popular with the oil industry as an onshore analogue for several offshore oilfield reservoirs. Excursions to the Devonian Old Red Sandstone of Caithness cover the major features of the Caithness Flagstones from the marginal unconformities, through fluvial, Aeolian, and playa deposits, to the deep lake laminites with world famous fossil fish faunas. In the Golspie-Brora-Helmsdale area, the Jurassic succession adjacent to the Helmsdale Fault is demonstrated, particularly the famous Helmsdale Boulder beds deposited beside an active submarine fault scarp. A further attraction is the opportunity to pan for gold at Kildonan. This guide, which updates the 1993 edition, is copiously illustrated with color photographs and diagrams.
