A palaeoecological study of Cors Gyfelog and Tre'r Gof: lowland mines of north west Wales
Thesis
Botterill, E. M. (1988). A palaeoecological study of Cors Gyfelog and Tre'r Gof: lowland mines of north west Wales

This study investigates post-Glacial development of Cors Gyfelog and Tre'r Gof - lowland mires in north west Wales - and the vegetational history of the region over the same period. Using existing hydroseral theories, possible future successions are... Read More about A palaeoecological study of Cors Gyfelog and Tre'r Gof: lowland mines of north west Wales.

The sedimentology and geotectonic significance of upper Ordovician and lower Silurian sand-bodies in the Rhinns of Galloway and adjacent areas, southwest Scotland
Thesis
Davies, P. (1988). The sedimentology and geotectonic significance of upper Ordovician and lower Silurian sand-bodies in the Rhinns of Galloway and adjacent areas, southwest Scotland

The study reported here involved detailed mapping, logging, stratigraphical, structural, sedimentological and petrographical analyses of sequences exposed in two areas: the Rhinns of Galloway, between Killantrlngan Bay (NW 9820 5700) and Clanyard Bay...

Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression
Thesis
Egan, S. (1988). Rheological, thermal and isostatic constraints on continental lithosphere extension and compression

Deep seismic reflection data has shown the importance of low angle faults and detachments in continental extensional tectonics. A quantitative model of continental lithosphere extension is presented, incorporating geometric, thermal and isostatic com...

Service outlets in shopping centres: problems and policies
Thesis
Doidge, R. A. (1985). Service outlets in shopping centres: problems and policies

Although there has been a profusion of studies on most aspects of retailing during the post-war period, the rapid growth of service outlets in traditional shopping centres is one component of retail change that has attracted relatively little attenti...

The relationship between sedimentary history and geotechnical behaviour of Quaternary sediments in Holderness
Thesis
Foster, C. T. (1985). The relationship between sedimentary history and geotechnical behaviour of Quaternary sediments in Holderness

The stratigraphy-, sedimentology and geotechnical properties of the Quaternary sequence in Holderness were examined in detail, with the aim of relating depositional history to observed geotechnical behaviour. Both the Withernsea and Skipsea Till unit... Read More about The relationship between sedimentary history and geotechnical behaviour of Quaternary sediments in Holderness.

The geology of the Morlaix - St Michel-en-Greve region, N.W. Brittany, France
Thesis
Griffiths, N. (1985). The geology of the Morlaix - St Michel-en-Greve region, N.W. Brittany, France

Detailed mapping of the area between Morlaix and St. Michel-en- Greve has been carried out within the northwest part of the Massif Armoricain and three distinct tectono-metamorphic areas have been recognised. In the western area a medium-high grade m... Read More about The geology of the Morlaix - St Michel-en-Greve region, N.W. Brittany, France.

Silurian trilobites from Scandinavia
Thesis
Helbert, G. J. (1985). Silurian trilobites from Scandinavia

Trilobites of the family Lichidae are described from the Silurian of Gotland, Sweden. Nineteen species (fourteen of which are named, two new) are assigned to Acanthopyge, Choneiliobarges, Craspedarges, Dicranopeltis, Lichas, Platylichas and Pseudotup...

The stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Brønlund Fjord and Tavsens Iskappe Groups (Cambrian) of Peary Land, eastern North Greenland
Thesis
Ineson, J. R. (1985). The stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Brønlund Fjord and Tavsens Iskappe Groups (Cambrian) of Peary Land, eastern North Greenland

Proterozoic and Lower Palaeozoic strata in eastern North Greenland record two contrasting depositional regimes: a cratonic shelf bounded to the north by a deep-water basin. The shelf strata include the BrjSnlund Fjord and Tavsens Iskappe Groups, a ca...

The geology and geochemistry of the metasedimentary rocks of the Loch Laggan - Upper Strathspey area, Inverness-shire
Thesis
Okonkwo, C. T. (1985). The geology and geochemistry of the metasedimentary rocks of the Loch Laggan - Upper Strathspey area, Inverness-shire

An area of 120Km2 extending from Loch Laggan to the upper reaches of the River Spey has been mapped in detail on a scale of 1:10,000. The metasediments cropping out in this area have been assigned to the Grampian Division and consist of varied assemb...
