Professional Memberships My primary research interests are in the Quaternary geology of Chesapeake Bay and the mid-Atlantic inner continental shelf and coastal plain. The studies have both academic and practical applications. High-resolution, seismic-reflection techniques provide data which are useful both in basic geologic studies and in prospecting for potentially minable resources of sand. Through developing a better understanding of the stratigraphy and depositional history of the coastal plain, we are better able to model the modes of occurrence of sand that might be used for beach nourishment or construction aggregate. And the detailed data from cores obtained in proving a sand resource also serve the general geological studies. The work also includes studies of the potential environmental consequesnces of marine sand mining.

    Extractions: The scientific nature of the USGS, its national perspective, and its non-regulatory role enable the USGS to provide information and understanding that are policy relevant and policy neutral. Created by an act of Congress in 1879, the USGS has evolved over the ensuing 120 years, matching its talent and knowledge to the progress of science and technology. Today, the USGS stands as the sole science agency for the Department of the Interior. It is sought out by thousands of partners and customers for its natural science expertise and its vast earth and biological data holdings. The USGS is the science provider of choice in accessing the information and understanding to help resolve complex natural resource problems across the Nation and around the world. USGS informationon biological resources, on natural hazards, on ground-water availabilityis helping society solve many of today's pressing issues. The USGS serves the Nation as an independent fact-finding agency that collects, monitors, analyzes, and provides scientific understanding about natural resource conditions, issues, and problems. The value of the USGS to the Nation rests on its ability to carry out studies on a national scale and to sustain long-term monitoring and assessment of natural resources. Because it has no regulatory or management mandate, the USGS provides impartial science that serves the needs of our changing world. The diversity of scientific expertise enables the USGS to carry out large-scale, multi-disciplinary investigations that build the base of knowledge about the Earth. In turn, decision makers at all levels of governmentand citizens in all walks of lifehave the information tools they need to address pressing societal issues.

    Extractions: Project scope and objectives : The objective of the image characterisation project is to decrease subsurface uncertainty, and especially to bridge the gap between the great volume of low-resolution subsurface data acquired by geophysical imaging, and the small volume of high-resolution subsurface data obtained by well logging and cores. At the one hand, a better understanding of the fundamentals of propagation of acoustic waves through rocks, and novel image processing techniques are required to increase seismic resolution. At the other hand, refining and rethinking of geological models is needed to increase their performance in predicting subsurface geometry. Matching geophysical and geological models requires the development of integrated techniques that combine different sources of information at different scales for the construction of reservoir models and the determination of their seismic, petrophysical and geological parameters.

    http://www.dal.ca/~digs/t-basic.htm
    
    Extractions: Upon exposure to nuclear radiation, some bound electrons of the atoms making up a mineral's lattice are detached from their parent nuclei and become freely mobile: they are said to enter the conduction band. Structural defects in the lattice (vacancies, interstitial atoms, and substitutional impurities) create localized charge deficits, which act as traps T for the conduction electrons. Most electrons recombine or are briefly trapped in very shallow traps, but a few are trapped at deep traps and remain there over geological timescales (1-1000 Ma). The now charge-deficient ion which contributed the trapped charge becomes a luminescence centre L. Recombination: Electrons trapped in deep traps T do not readily recombine unless induced to do so by natural "clock-resetting events", or under strictly controlled laboratory conditions. Heat or light can eject charges from traps T back into the conduction band. When an electron recombines with a luminescence centre L, a photon is emitted. This phenomenon forms the basis of thermoluminescence and optical dating. The ESR measurement does not evict charges from traps, but detects their presence by the absorption of microwave radiation in a varying magnetic field.

    Extractions: Physics 2nd Edition Hardback In stock Advance praise for the second edition of Geodynamics: ‘It is immensely gratifying that Turcotte and Schubert have prepared this update of their classic textbook, which has been required reading for solid-earth graduate students here at Princeton for the past two decades. The exquisite clarity of exposition and the perfectly balanced level of mathematical and physical sophistication are maintained in this second edition, which differs by about ten percent from the original. The authors attribute this high degree of conservation to the fact that the book ‘deals with fundamental physical processes that do not change’; however, I consider it to be a consequence of their impeccable choice of topics.’Professor Tony Dahlen, Princeton University ‘… the long awaited revision of Don Turcotte and Jerry Schubert’s classic book on the fundamental physical processes that underlie geological phenomena. The second edition brings the subject up-to-date with discussions on satellite observations of surface strain and planetary morphology, thermal cooling models for the lithosphere, and chemical mantle dynamics. The result is a definitive work of impressive breadth that will be of great interest to researchers and students alike.’Professor Anthony B. Watts, University of Oxford ‘A welcome revision of a classic text. Twenty years have elapsed between the first and this second edition, but only relatively minor revisions and additions have been necessary; testimony to the rigor and comprehensive coverage of the original text. The main changes cover recent advances in comparative planetology, space geodesy, mantle plumes and mantle convection in general, and the way in which geochemical data can help in illuminating geodynamic processes. Now in paperback, and at an affordable price, this text will be an essential buy for all senior undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers studying the physics of solid Earth processes.’Professor Fred J. Vine, University of East Anglia

    Extractions: OCEANOGRAPHY DEFINED Biological Oceanography Biological Oceanography is concerned with the interactions of populations of marine organisms with one another and with their physical and chemical environment. Because these interactions are frequently complex, and because the concepts and techniques used are drawn from many fields, biological oceanography is of necessity, interdisciplinary. Knowledge of physical and geological oceanography is pertinent. Hydra picture, taken by Thomas Bosch, is found at the Cnidaria Home Page Physical Oceanography Physical Oceanography is the study of the physical processes in the ocean and the interaction of the ocean with the atmosphere. Physical oceanographers study currents, tides, waves, and convection in the deep ocean, along coasts, and in the surf zone. They also study the heat budget of the ocean including solar heating, evaporation, infrared radiation into and out of the sea, and the transport of heat and salt by currents. The goal of their work is to understand and predict the processes including such important processes as

Graduates from the Geology and Physical Geography degree programme are choosing a mixture of careers, from the academic, through direct employment in industry and local authorities, to diverse careers in multinational companies. Students carry out their own projects as part of their honours year. If you want to concentrate on geology, or do a project dominated by geological components, you would usually carry out four weeks independent mapping in the summer between your third and final year. On the other hand, opportunities are also available to carry out laboratory- or field-based projects solely concentrating on physical geography. The degree offers you the scope to delve deeper into those areas of most interest to you! Third year students examining Triassic desiccation cracks, Mull
