Thermal models of dyke intrusion during development of continent–ocean transition

Kat Daniels from Cambridge University along with a team of scientists including Derek Keir from G&G, published a paper in EPSL highlighting the influence of dyke intrusion on heating the surrounding crust in extensional tectonic settings. They used numerical modelling to show that if intrusions repeatedly focus at the same location for just a few million… Read More Thermal models of dyke intrusion during development of continent–ocean transition

Seminar: The environments of deposition of the Lambeth Group and their effects on engineering properties

On Wednesday 19th February The Solent Group of the Geological Society  will be holding an evening lecture with Dr Jackie Skipper from the Geotechnical Consulting Group. This will be held at the NOC (Seminar Room), Southampton (6pm for refreshments with lecture from 6.30 – 7.30pm). This lecture is a brief ‘walk through’ the highly variable… Read More Seminar: The environments of deposition of the Lambeth Group and their effects on engineering properties
