Theoretical models of thermo-mechanical ductile shear zone deformation in rocks
Thesis
Thermo-mechanical models of ductile shear zones have been constructed for both viscous and viscoelastic materials. The viscous model has been applied to both shear zones and ductile thrusts for constant velocity and constant shear stress boundary con...

The geology of the Moine rocks of the Loch Eil area, west Inverness-shire
Thesis
Detailed mapping of 120 sq.km, has been carried out within the Moine rocks of the Loch Eil area, West Inverpess-shire. The meta- sedimentary rocks of the Loch Eil Division Moine are composed of a series of psammites, quartzites and 'banded' units wit...

The mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry of the Serres-Drama granitic complex, northern Greece
Thesis
The Serres-Drama granitic complex is situated in the Rhodope massif (North Greece). It comprises a broad spectrum of rock-types (gabbro, dioritic xenoliths, mon- zonite, quartz monzonite, granodiorite, granite, aplite and pegmatite veins). From petr...

Mechanisms of shear zone deformation
Thesis
The accommodation of displacement within discrete zones of ductile deformation is a feature of many metamorphic rocks. The mechanisms by which the deformation becomes concentrated within these shear zones, as opposed to being equally distributed thro... Read More about Mechanisms of shear zone deformation.
A palaeoecological study of Cors Gyfelog and Tre'r Gof: lowland mines of north west Wales
Thesis
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 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
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...
