Geological History of Britain and Ireland available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Britain and Ireland have a remarkably varied geology for so small a fragment of continental crust, with a fine rock record back through three billion years of geological time. This history would have been interesting enough if it had been played out on relatively stable continental crust. However, Britain and Ireland have developed at a tectonic crossroads, on crust once traversed by subduction zones and volcanic arcs, continental rifts and mountain belts. The resulting complexity is instructive, fascinating and perplexing. Geological History of Britain and Ireland tells the region's story at a level accessible to undergraduate geologists, as well as to postgraduates, professionals or informed amateurs. This second edition is fully revised and updated, reflecting our continually developing knowledge of the region's geology. Full coverage is again given to the rich Precambrian and Early Palaeozoic history, as well as to later events more relevant to hydrocarbon exploration. The book is an essential starting point for more detailed studies of the regional geology. Additional resources for this book can be found at: http://www.wiley.com/go/woodcock/geologicalhistory

Fluvial Meanders and Their Sedimentary Products in the Rock Record (IAS SP 48) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The sinuous form and peculiar evolution of meandering rivers has long captured the imagination of people. Today, meandering rivers exist in some of the most densely populated areas in the World, where they provide environmental and economic wealth and opportunities, as well as posing hazards. Through geological time, the ancestors of these modern meanders built deposits that are now host to mineral resources, groundwater, and hydrocarbons. This Special Publication illustrates the breadth of current research on meandering rivers and their deposits. The collection of research papers demonstrates the state of science on fluvial process–product relationships. The articles cover fundamental and applied studies of both modern and ancient rivers, are based on state-of-the-art technology, include complementary philosophical approaches, and span a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. This book includes some of the most recent advances in the study of the morphodynamics and sedimentology of meandering rivers, and is an important resource for those who want to investigate fluvial systems and their deposits.

Later Proterozoic Stratigraphy of the Northern Atlantic stimulating and their prompt submission of text and illustrative material has enabled rapid production of Regions aims to produce a concise and up-to-date synthesis of the later Proterozoic geology of those lands the book. Funding for this research has come from many bordering the North Atlantic that were once situated sources, including the Natural Environment Research north of the Iapetus Suture and the Tornquist Line. Council, the British Geological Survey, the Geological Proterozoic rocks deposited between 1150 and 650 Ma Surveys of Greenland and Newfoundland and many (the latter date marked by the Varanger glaciation) are universities. the main subject of the book, although reference is also Many of the chapters use differing and interesting made to deposits laid down at the end of the Proterozoic methods of approach, including structural analysis, in Scandinavia, Newfoundland and Greenland. The sedimentology, whole-rock trace element geochemistry, need for such a comprehensive review has become geophysics, and isotopic age dating. The scope of the increasingly apparent in recent years, because the original research was extended to include formerly introduction of many new methods of resolving pro adjacent areas and, as a result, a number of useful blems in complex metamorphic terrains has unlocked a correlations between these regions can be made.

Download and read online ebook Earth System Evolution and Early Life write by A.T. Brasier. This book was released on 2017-06-09. Earth System Evolution and Early Life available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This volume in memory of Professor Martin Brasier, which has many of his unfinished works, summarizes recent progress in some of the hottest topics in palaeobiology including cellular preservation of early microbial life and early evolution of macroscopic animal life, encompassing the Ediacara biota. The papers focus on how to decipher evidence for early life, which requires exceptional preservation, employment of state-of-the-art techniques and also an understanding gleaned from Phanerozoic lagerstätte and modern analogues. The papers also apply Martin’s MOFAOTYOF principle (my oldest fossils are older than your oldest fossils), requiring an integrated approach to understanding fossils. The adoption of the null-hypothesis that all putative traces of life are abiotic until proven otherwise, and the consideration of putative fossils within their spatial context, characterized the work of Martin Brasier, as is well demonstrated by the papers in this volume.
