The Variscan Orogeny
Author: K. SchulmannPublisher: Geological Society of London
ISBN: 1862396582
Category : Science
Languages : fr
Pages : 404
Book Description
This volume summarizes the state of the art of Variscan geology from Iberia to the Bohemian Massif. The European Variscan belt consists of two orogens: the older, northern and the younger, southern. The northern Variscan realm was dominated by Late Devonian–Carboniferous rifting, subduction and collisional events as defined by sedimentary records, crustal growth, recycling of continental crust and large-scale deformations. In contrast, the southern European crust was reworked by major Late Carboniferous collision followed by Permian wrenching. The Late Carboniferous–Permian orogeny overprinted the previously accreted system in the north, but with much lower intensity, resulting in magmatic recycling and extensional tectonics. These two main orogenic cycles do not reflect episodic evolution of a single orogenic system but a complete change in orientation of stress field, thermal regime, degree of reworking and recycling of European crust, reflecting a major switch in plate configurations at the Early–Late Carboniferous boundary.

The Geology of the Western English Channel and Its Western Approaches
Author: C. D. R. EvansPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
This area forms part of a wide continental shelf and extends eastwards to a line from Start Point to the Cotentin Peninsula in the western English Channel, northwards to 51 degrees N, and southwestwards to the upper continental slope. It is the site of pioneering work in marine geology, and the structures and sequences recognized in early, largely geophysical, investigations have generated commercial interest. This search for hydrocarbons in the deep sedimentary basins of the area has produced new information, much of which is included with the BGS results, Deep Sea Drilling Project data and details from a wide variety of papers.
The Geology of England and Wales

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.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
The sea area discussed in this report is delimited to the north by the south coast of England and to the south by the median line separating French from UK waters. The area featured in pioneering offshore geological exploration but less work has been carried out by the oil industry in this area than in the adjacent North Sea and South Western Approaches. However, surveys related to both aggregate studies and the Channel Tunnel have been important sources of data, and the area has been the subject of much academic research. This report concentrates on UK waters, but mention is made of the geology of both French waters and the coastal areas on either side of the English Channel.
Pre-Mesozoic Geology in France and Related Areas
Author: J. ChantrainePublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642849156
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 745
Book Description
This book provides an up-to-date synthesis of the Pre-Mesozoic Geology in France (Armorican and Central Massifs) and Related Areas (Aquitaine Basin, Vosges, Provence, Pyrenees, Western Alps, Corsica and Sardinia). The geological record is systematically presented, covering seismic reflection, gravity and magnetic data, stratigraphy, paleontology, structure, metamorphism, igneous activity and metallogeny. It is the most up-to-date English summary by French scientists, providing access to the vast literature on the topic mainly written in French. As such, it should be of great interest to an international audience.
