Geological memoirs, Brief Sheet Explanations and Sheet Descriptions for each of the 1:50 000 series (and the earlier one-inch series) geological map sheets.
Memoirs contain detailed information on the structure, stratigraphy, and palaeontology, and many have sections on mineral resources, geohazards, groundwater and geophysics of the district.
Sheet Descriptions provide a similar level of information to that found in Memoirs, but with a more concise presentation.
Brief Sheet Explanations provide an summary of the geology of the district.
The subsurface of the East Midlands region has been intensively explored by boreholes and seismic surveys on account of its rich resources of coal and hydrocarbons.
This memoir is based on an exhaustive use of such data, acquired during seven decades of exploration, and aims to present a concise review of the tectonic and sedimentary history of the Carboniferous rocks of the East Midlands region. [Book]
Print on demand (POD) publications - books, reports and maps - are printed digitally to order: this may include printing from digital scans of litho-printed original publications. POD books, reports and maps are produced as report-style colour or monochrome laser prints, at A4-size, with rigid binding and clear acrylic covers.
Traditional techniques of geological surveying do not always reveal in detail the subsurface structure. Seismic reflection profiling methods have been refined, and these are of particular importance to the oil industry. The application of these methods and other basin analysis techniques have greatly enhanced the knowledge of the structure and evolution of the land and the adjoining continental shelf - and significantly increased the economic resources of the nation. …more…
