The Life of Frank Coles Phillips (1902-1982) and the Structural Geology of the Moine Petrofabric Controversy by Richard John Howarth,Bernard E. Leake Pdf

Frank Coles Phillips was a photographer, mineralogist and structural petrologist and was very influential, both in the UK and abroad. He was responsible for encouraging the development of structural geology as a discipline in Australia and for the adoption of the stereogram as a fundamental interpretational tool in structural geology in the UK. Phillips was the first to apply the methods of structural petrology to unravel the complex structural history of the Moine rocks of northwestern Scotland, with controversial results.

Continental Tectonics and Mountain Building by Richard D. Law Pdf

The Geological Survey's 1907 Memoir 'The Geological Structure of the North-West Highlands of Scotland' outlined many of the principles of field-based structural and tectonic analysis that have subsequently guided generations of geologists working in other mountain belts, both ancient and modern. These 32 papers celebrate the centenary of the 1907 Memoir by placing the original findings in both historical and modern contexts, and juxtaposing them against present-day studies of deformation processes operating not only in the NW Highlands, but also in other mountain belts.

The Life and Work of Professor J.W. Gregory FRS (1864-1932), Geologist, Writer and Explorer by Bernard E. Leake Pdf

Gregory's remarkable career and his scientific work are detailed and critically assessed. Accounts of his heroic 1893 expedition to the Rift Valley (a term he coined) in Kenya (now the Gregory Rift), his first crossing of Spitzbergen, and his resignation as Leader of the first British Antarctic Expedition of 1901, when racing to the Pole under Scott became the priority, draw on unpublished letters. While in Melbourne he published on mining geology and a series of geography textbooks. His 1901 Lake Eyre expedition in Central Australia initiated the phrase 'The Dead Heart of Australia' and controversy over the source of artesian water. In the Chair of Geology in Glasgow from 1904, he built up the largest first-year geology class in the UK, over 400 students. He worked in every field of geology and every continent except Antarctica. He was also involved with the search for a 'homeland' for the Jews in Libya and Angola. He shrewdly realized that Wegener's Continental Drift Theory erroneously supposed that the Pacific Ocean was wider than now before the Atlantic opened. This led to his influential rejection of Continental Drift. He drowned in Peru traversing the Andes having published over 30 books and nearly 400 articles.

Geology of the Kintail District by Frank May Pdf

This rugged mountainous region on the western seaboard of the north-west Highlands of Scotland is a sparsely populated area used for sporting activities (deer stalking, fishing) as well as forestry and the farming of fish and hill sheep. The, as yet, unspoilt mountain scenery attracts many visitors and a better understanding of the underlying geology may help towards a fuller appreciation of this national asset and its careful conservation. This memoir brings together the data, research and interpretations of the many geologists who have studied the region along with maps, diagrams and tables to provide a geological account of the Kintail district.
