A reconnaissance magnetostratigraphy of Georgian Plio-Quaternary volcanic provinces (southern Caucasus) [PDF]
A palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic study was carried out on samples of the Djavakheti, Khrami and Kazbeki regions in Georgia. Samples were taken from 44 localities from 247 subaerial lava flows and from 3 lacustrine sedimentary layers, interbedded ...

This hands-on activity covers the basics of rock identification. After a brief discussion of the terms 'rock' and 'mineral', students will study the characteristics and classifications of the three major rock groups (igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary)

Wave Propagation in Porous Elastoplastic Rocks: Implication for Seismic Attenuation [PDF]
We develop and study a 1D model for the acoustic wave propagation with two-phase physics and irreversible elastoplastic deformations in the rock matrix. We address the effect of the P-wave energy attenuation due to pore-scale plastic yielding in pre-stressed sedimentary rocks.

Mechanical Properties of Coal Measure Rocks Containing Fluids at Pressure [PDF]
The sedimentary rock that comprises coal measures has quite nonlinear, elastic, stress – strain characteristics. It is also affected by the fluid pressure within it. The fluids act in two quite separate ways.

Early Cenozoic denudation of central west Britain in response to transient and permanent uplift above a mantle plume [PDF]
Upwelling mantle plumes beneath continental crust are predicted to produce difficult to quantify, modest uplift and denudation. The contribution of permanent and transient components to the uplift is also difficult to distinguish.
