The effect of storage upon sediment transfer processes in a small Scottish gravel-bed river
(University of St Andrews, 1995) - ThesisA detailed morphological approach is used to determine the effect of storage location upon sediment mobility, providing partial explanation for previously reported non systematic characteristics of sediment transfer. Data ... -
The genesis of Late Caledonian granitoid-related mineralization in northern Britain
(University of St Andrews, 1992) - ThesisThe main aim of this study was to develop a model for the sources of sulphur in Late Caledonian granitoids of Northern Britain in relation to their tectonic framework, and to constrain the sources of sulphur, fluids and ... -
The Lewisian and Torridonian geology of Iona
(University of St Andrews, 1977) - ThesisThe island of Iona is composed predominantly of Lewisian gneisses with Torridonian sediments outcropping on the east side. The Lewisian gneisses include a wide range of lithological types. The prevalent quartzfeldspathic ... -
The development of X-ray excited optical luminescence (XEOL) spectroscopic techniques for mineralogical and petrological applications
(University of St Andrews, 2013) - ThesisThis thesis investigates the use of X-ray Excited Optical Luminescence (XEOL) and Time Resolved X-ray Excited Optical Luminescence (TR XEOL) within the Earth sciences. The project contains two primary objectives, the ... -
Palaeobiology, taphonomy and diagenesis of a lower carboniferous fish fauna
(University of St Andrews, 1991) - ThesisChapters one and two of this work contain a study of helically-coiled spiral coprolites. Spiral coprolites with complex microstructures have been interpreted as enterospirae – fossilized valvular intestines (Fritsch 1907, ...
