Geology and petrology of the margin of the Rhum ultrabasic intrusion, Inner Hebrides, Scotland
Abstract
During the course of this study encouragement and assistance was
provided from many sources. I am particularly grateful to my
supervisor Colin Donaldson who proposed this project, and with a
mixture of practical advice and instruction helped to make my
Ph.D work in St. Andrews a very enjoyable and profitable
experience. I would also like to express my appreciation to Ed.
Stephans who gave considerable help in many areas, in particular
with geochemical analysis and computing. Technical assistance
with various aspects of this work was given by Andy MacKie,
Donald Herd, Jim Allen, Angus Calder, Alisdair Reed and R.
Bachelor. Isotopic analyses were carried out at S.U.R.R.C. East
Kilbride under the supervision of Alan Dickin and Tony Fallick.
Considerable logistic support during fieldwork was provided by
members of the Nature Conservancy Council on Rhum, in particular
I would like to thank the former Warden Laughton Johnson for all
his help. Many of the ideas presented in this thesis were arrived
at after discussion, both in the field and elsewhere, with fellow
colleagues; Peter Holden, John Reavy, Lesley Evans, Graham
Oliver, Ron Watkins, Nick Smith and Henry Emeleus are thanked for
their various contributions. Kit Findley and Lesley Bickell typed
various parts of the thesis. Finally I would like to express my
appreciation to my Mother for all her help and encouragement, and
to Marie-Christine, who besides typing several chapters provided
invaluable moral support during the latter stages of this
undertaking.
