Book Description
In the past, the rocks described in this memoir have been a prolific source of building stone and can be seen in the fabric of many local buildings, including the Oxford colleges. Other natural resources for the construction industry have been worked in the district and the need for these continues. This memoir is a good source of geological background information for planners and civil engineers. The district extends from the eastern suburbs of Oxford to the western outskirts of Aylesbury. Between the towns the area is one of pleasant countryside, with a topography which closely reflects the outcrop geology of Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks. This memoir integrates some of the large body of existing literature with new information gathered during the recent detailed survey of the district.

Unlocking the Stratigraphical Record
Author: Peter Doyle
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0471974633
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 549
Book Description
Stratigraphy is the key to understanding the geological evolution of the earth. It provides the framework for our interpretation of the sequences of events which have shaped the earth throughout its 4600 million years of existence. It provides the timescale with which we can determine the relative order of these events, and it provides the means whereby we can calibrate this using absolute ages in years. Stratigraphy is therefore the most fundamental subject in the science of geology, and all geologists are practising stratigraphers. Traditionally, however, stratigraphy has been considered as a Victorian science, a ponderous process of the naming and cataloguing of innumerable geological units most of which are of limited interest outside of a given geographical region. This view has been challenged in recent years through the development of new techniques such as sequence stratigraphy, cyclostratigraphy and chemostratigraphy which have greatly enhanced our capability to interpret earth history. In this book many of the leading practitioners of modern stratigraphy have been gathered together to provide up-to-date and authoritative reviews of most of the important advances in the subject. As such it is the only volume to provide a comprehensive treatment of modern stratigraphy at an advanced undergraduate level.

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.
