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...

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...

The quaternary sediments of the Shetland platform and adjacent continental shelf margin
Thesis
Cockroft, D. N. (1987). The quaternary sediments of the Shetland platform and adjacent continental shelf margin

Borehole material obtained from the continental shelf and shelf margin around the Shetland Islands has made possible a reconsideration of the glacial history of the archipelago. Analysis of British Geological Survey boreholes, from the areas between... Read More about The quaternary sediments of the Shetland platform and adjacent continental shelf margin.

The stratigraphy, palaeontology and sedimentology of the Upper Pendleian and Lower Arnsbergian of the North Staffordshire basin area
Thesis
(1969). The stratigraphy, palaeontology and sedimentology of the Upper Pendleian and Lower Arnsbergian of the North Staffordshire basin area

The detailed palaeontological and lithological succession was established by detailed measurement and mapping of the Hurdlow, Pyeclough and Blake Brook sections. Faunas were found and are described ranging from E1c to E2b2 in age, and their extent wi...

Chemostratigraphical characterisation of lower Silurian black shales from the Formigoso Formation (southern Cantabrian Mountains, Spain)
Thesis
(2014). Chemostratigraphical characterisation of lower Silurian black shales from the Formigoso Formation (southern Cantabrian Mountains, Spain)

This thesis focuses on the development of the black shales belonging to the lower Silurian Formigoso Formation (Fm.) situated within the Cantabrian Fold Belt, Northern Spain. The geochemical data obtained by the use of an energy-dispersive Niton XL3t...

The geological and geodynamic evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region: insights from numerical modelling
Thesis
(2014). The geological and geodynamic evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region: insights from numerical modelling

The geological and geodynamic processes that have controlled the evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region in Northern England have been investigated to expand understanding of the evolution of continental extensional basins. The region has exper... Read More about The geological and geodynamic evolution of the Northumberland Trough Region: insights from numerical modelling.

Cross-strike discontinuities and kinematic linkages within the Moine and Cantabrian thrust belts
Thesis
(2014). Cross-strike discontinuities and kinematic linkages within the Moine and Cantabrian thrust belts

Abrupt lateral changes in thrust geometry occur in many mountain-building fold-thrust belts. Whilst many works have dealt with palinspastic reconstructions and transport-directionparallel balanced cross-sections, far fewer show a full three-dimension...

3D geological modelling of superficial deposits, bedrock stratigraphy and fracture networks, Dounreay, Scotland: implications for subsurface contaminant pathways
Thesis
(2012). 3D geological modelling of superficial deposits, bedrock stratigraphy and fracture networks, Dounreay, Scotland: implications for subsurface contaminant pathways

Any industrial site producing contaminants (including chemical and radiological materials), will be constructed on or below the surface, whose associated properties determine how fluid and contaminants travel. The Dounreay Nuclear Power Establishment...

A sedimentologic-stratigraphic investigation of Marsdenian (Namurian R2a-b) sediments in the Central Pennines
Thesis
(1982). A sedimentologic-stratigraphic investigation of Marsdenian (Namurian R2a-b) sediments in the Central Pennines

The Marsdenian (R2a_b) sediments constitute the third major clastic influx into the Central Pennine Basin, following the first and second influxes during the Skipton Moor Grit (Elc) and Kinderscoutian (Ri) intervals respectively. The Marsdenian influ... Read More about A sedimentologic-stratigraphic investigation of Marsdenian (Namurian R2a-b) sediments in the Central Pennines.

Stratigraphy, sedimentology and palaeontology of the Lower Carboniferous of Anglesey
Thesis
(1983). Stratigraphy, sedimentology and palaeontology of the Lower Carboniferous of Anglesey

The Anglesey Dinantian succession records the establishment and growth of a land-attached carbonate platform. Onlap of underlying basement terrain and marginal terrigenoclastic accumulations is readily demonstrated. Carbonate deposition however was r...

The early-stage structural evolution of the Barmer Basin rift, Rajasthan, northwest India
Thesis
Bladon, A. J. (2015). The early-stage structural evolution of the Barmer Basin rift, Rajasthan, northwest India

The structural evolution of the Barmer Basin and the context of the rift within the northwest Indian region are poorly understood, despite being a prolific hydrocarbon province. In this work an integrated basin analysis is presented covering the outc... Read More about The early-stage structural evolution of the Barmer Basin rift, Rajasthan, northwest India.

Structure, emplacement and textural evolution of young obsidian lavas in the Aeolian Islands, Italy
Thesis
Bullock, L. A. (2015). Structure, emplacement and textural evolution of young obsidian lavas in the Aeolian Islands, Italy

Silicic volcanism defines the recent volcanic activity in the Aeolian Islands, Italy. Such activity on the islands of Lipari and Vulcano has generally involved an explosive phase, ending with viscous lava extrusion and a period of quiescence. This la...

Controls on sediment architecture and deposition in arid continental basin margin systems
Thesis
Gough, A. (2015). Controls on sediment architecture and deposition in arid continental basin margin systems

Continental basin margin systems are dominated by alluvial fan environments throughout basin development. As the fan is long-lived, the sediments interdigitate with contemporaneous environments of deposition in the basin centre. The facies and archit...
