Book Description
The area described in this memoir forms the southern part of the Vale of York - a low-lying, largely drift-covered tract. The area, although rather featureless in scenic terms, is of considerable geological interest and economic importance. This memoir provides insights into the impact of climate change in the past, and also documents the significant impact that man has had on the landscape of the region.

The Geology of England and Wales
Author: P. J. Brenchley
Publisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 9781862392007
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 588
Book Description
This second edition of 'The Geology of England and Wales' is considerably expanded from its predecessor, reflecting the increase in our knowledge of the region, and particularly of the offshore areas. Forty specialists have contributed to 18 chapters, which cover a time range from 700 million years ago to 200 million years into the future. A new format places all the chapters in approximately temporal order. Both offshore and economic geology now form an integral part of appropriate chapters.

Quaternary of the Trent
Author: David R. Bridgland
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 178297024X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 464
Book Description
This volume is an integrated overview and synthesis of available data relating to the Quaternary evolution of the River Trent. It provides detailed descriptions of the Pleistocene sedimentary records from the Trent, its tributaries and related drainage systems - a sedimentary record that spans a period of approximately half a million years - and the biostratigraphical and archaeological material preserved therein. Significant new data are presented from recently discovered sites of geological and archaeological importance, including previously unrecognised fluvial deposits, as well as novel analyses, such as mathematical modelling of fluvial incision as recorded by the river terrace deposits. In combination with a thorough review of the literature on the Trent, these new data have contributed to revised chronostratigraphical and palaeogeographical frameworks for central England and revealed the complexity of the Pleistocene fluvial and glacial records in this region. The fragmentary Trent terrace sequence is an important element of wider reconstructions of Pleistocene palaeodrainage in Britain, providing a link between the records preserved in the English Midlands and those in East Anglia.

Elevation Models for Geoscience
Author: Cory Fleming
Publisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 9781862393134
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Elevation data are a critical element in most geoscience applications. From geological mapping to modelling Earth systems and processes geologists need to understand the shape of the Earth's surface. Vast amounts of digital elevation data exist, from large-scale global to smaller scale regional datasets, and many datasets have been merged to improve scale and accuracy. For each application, decisions are made on which elevation data to use driven by cost, resolution and accuracy. This publication shows the current status of available digital elevation data and illustrates the key applications. The types of data assessed include: ASTER stereo satellite imagery, Shuttle Radar Topographic Mapping data, airborne laser and radar such as NEXTMap, and Multibeam Bathymetry. Applications covered include: glacial deposits, landslides, coastal erosion and other geological hazards. Technical issues discussed include: accuracy analysis, derived product creation, software comparisons and copyright considerations. This volume is a comprehensive look at elevation models for geoscience.

Geology of the Country Around Kingston Upon Hull and Brigg

ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
This latest memoir chronicles the geology of the Kingston-upon-Hull and Brigg areas of Humberside and north Lincolnshire, an area renowned for its natural resources. This new data, derived from comprehensive surveying of fully cored boreholes, should enable a better assessment of the existing resources of the region and will facilitate land-use planning. In addition a clearer understanding of the Quaternary succession giving a more complete picture of climatic and relative sea-level change over the past 2 million years will aid forecasting of the likely impact on Britain of future global change.

Aspects of Industry in Roman Yorkshire and the North
Author: Pete Wilson
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1785704192
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
At the frontiers of the Roman Empire, military settlements had a profound influence on local crafting traditions. Legions were not just fighting units - they contained a large number of craftsmen, and the fortress would have been a centre of manufacturing activity. A timber legionary fortress, for example, required vast numbers of nails, many of which would have been made by legionary smiths on site, and an army of thousands would require many more pots, shoes and tents than could be produced by local domestic potters and leather workers. But can all developments in local craft and industry be seen as a result of the appearance of the Roman army? The ten papers in this volume focus on craft production in Roman Yorkshire, and the evidence for the role of the army in local manufacturing activities. Several papers examine broad questions surrounding the organisation and scale of production in urban and rural areas. Others consider the local evidence for individual materials and production processes, including those associated with pottery, glass, copper alloys, non-ferrous metals, leather, jet, and building stone.
