The application of time-lapse microgravity to investigate and monitor subsidence related to salt dissolution
Thesis
(2003). The application of time-lapse microgravity to investigate and monitor subsidence related to salt dissolution

Subsidence of the ground surface due to the removal of support either through man’s mining activity or natural dissolution of rock occurs throughout the world. In Cheshire, subsidence related to salt extraction has occurred in various forms for centu...

The geology of the Dragsmark granites, Bohuslan, south west Sweden with emphasis on the nature and origin of their alkali feldspar megacrysts
Thesis
(1984). The geology of the Dragsmark granites, Bohuslan, south west Sweden with emphasis on the nature and origin of their alkali feldspar megacrysts

The Dragsmark granites comprise a number of sub-concordant sheets within the Stora Le -Marstrand gneiss belt of south-west Sweden. Field evidence, fluid inclusion studies and geochemical restite-melt modelling indicate that they were intruded as wet...

Mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry of the banded iron formation, Gairloch, N.W. Scotland
Thesis
(1979). Mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry of the banded iron formation, Gairloch, N.W. Scotland

The Gairloch area lies at the southern end of the Lewisian outcrops in the N.W. of Scotland. The rocks of the Gairloch area are metasediments and belong to the Loch Maree Group. In these rocks lenses of Iron Formation facies occur. This Iron Formatio... Read More about Mineralogy, petrology and geochemistry of the banded iron formation, Gairloch, N.W. Scotland.

Thesis
(1983). The Laxfordian structure of the Kenmore inlier, Loch Torridon, Ross Shire

Detailed mapping has been carried out of an area l2sq.km in extent around Kenmore on the south side of Loch Torridon together with a reconnaissance traverse on the north side of Loch Torridon in Diabaig. The Kenmore area exhibits particularly strong... Read More about The Laxfordian structure of the Kenmore inlier, Loch Torridon, Ross Shire.

Recent and late quaternary ecology, distribution and provincialism of Ostracoda in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans
Thesis
(1983). Recent and late quaternary ecology, distribution and provincialism of Ostracoda in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans

A total of 393 samples were examined, of which 259 samples contained ostracods. Some 15,800 individual benthonic ostracod specimens were counted and assigned to 172 species. Of these, 1250 individuals of 58 species were live.
The majority of the Ost... Read More about Recent and late quaternary ecology, distribution and provincialism of Ostracoda in the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans.

The application of numerical modelling techniques to the mechanisms of reservoir- and mining-induced seismicity
Thesis
(1981). The application of numerical modelling techniques to the mechanisms of reservoir- and mining-induced seismicity

A survey of the 31 case histories of reservoir-induced seismicity has failed to Indicate any relationships between the geology of an area and the induced tremors. The occurrence of induced seismicity Is however related to the water height and, to a l...
