Geology of the Country Around Goole, Doncaster and the Isle of Axholme
Author: Geoffrey Douglas GauntPublisher: Stationery Office Books (TSO)
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
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.
Quaternary of the Trent
Author: David R. BridglandPublisher: 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.
Geology of the Country Around Kingston Upon Hull and Brigg

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.

Book Description
The area described in this memoir is an important agricultural region. It includes Ripon and Thirsk, situated in the low-lying, largely drift-covered Vale of York. To the east, the landscape is dominated by Hambleton Hills, and to the south-east by the Howardian Hills. These upland include part of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. This account should be of interest to amateur and professional geologists and anyone interested in the countryside.

Geology of the Country Around Harrogate
Author: A. H. CooperPublisher: Stationery Office Books (TSO)
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
The resurvey of the Harrogate district carried out between 1973 and 1978 was intended primarily to assess its economic mineral wealth, notably sand and gravel. It also yielded information on the Permian limestone resources, which are a valuable source of aggregate for the construction industry, and produced important scientific information, such as the marked thickness changes in the Carboniferous sequence along the margin between the Askrigg Block and the Craven Basin. A modern account of the Quaternary glaciation of the area is also included and potential sources of geological hazard are identified.
