Extractions: Structural Geology 2 Main objective: To address a selection of topics of current interest in structural geology and tectonics. Content and organisation 1) A critical assessment of the methods used for validating cross-sections including line-length and area-balancing methods. The aim is to investigate the significance of strain accumulation during the formation of fault-related folds. 2) An integrated study of geological and geophysical data from the Western Alps. The aim is to assess the links between the surficial and deep structure of a continent-continent collision zone. 3) An integrated study of geological, seismological and geophysical data from areas of continental extension. The aim is to assess the structural geometries and hence the mechanisms of continental extensional tectonics. Examples will be taken from the North Sea, the central Greece and the Basin and Range Province.

Extractions: Aims Offered by computer-based distance learning, this Advanced Certificate provides an advanced undergraduate programme in the processes which shape the continental and oceanic crust. It will enable you to progress from an introductory level of knowledge to a position where you can participate in research or other professional capacities within the petroleum, minerals, financial or insurance industries. Our choice of CD-ROM delivery using many photographs, computer-generated diagrams and extensive text (through the freeware Adobe Acrobat Reader) means that you can study offline using a laptop computer. The CD-based delivery is supported by email and Web-based tutorials. You can also choose to have face-to-face tutorials at Birkbeck or during field classes. Individual courses can also be taken by non-degree students or occasional students. An introductory course states the basic tenets of structural geology and its links with tectonics, and three advanced courses provide detailed reviews of topics in structural geology and tectonics. You can undertake an independent, but guided research project through attendance on an organised field class in Scotland or central Greece, or study of a CD-based research database provided by the course tutor or other means.

Extractions: Please click for full image. It is now generally accepted that most normal faults are composed of numerous shorter segments that have linked to form a single throughgoing structure. The zones where two segments link, termed "relay ramps", are of interest to petroleum geologists because they are (a) difficult to identify and map accurately, and (b) zones of high structural risk for fault-dependent traps. In particular, it is often very difficult to tell if two segments have linked completely (a breached ramp) or if there remains a gap between the faults (an unbreached ramp). A major goal of this project is to find criteria that can be used to determine whether of not a given ramp is breached, and to determine what data need to be collected in order to make that distinction. This research involves a combination of 3-D seismic interpretation and fieldwork on normal fault systems in the Paradox Basin, Utah.

Extractions: Environmental Studies Program Direction: Accelerated Deepwater Activities Deepwater: Geology Twenty-five years ago our knowledge of processes on the continental slope in the northern Gulf of Mexico was so limited that it was viewed simply as an accreting sedimentary structure. It is now known to be extremely dynamic and is the international center of deepwater development and expertise. The slope is also marked by huge troughs or canyons cutting across the slope. These are conduits for sediment movement. On the long-term , northern Gulf slope features are controlled by an interaction of rapid sedimentation and salt tectonics. On the shorter scale, this long-term complex is greatly modified by erosion, mass movement, and fluid expulsion. Both long and short-term processes pose significant geohazards. Shelf edge progradation is an interplay of rapid sedimentation and salt migration. In Pliocene and Pleistocene periods, sea level cycled, causing pluvial systems to prograde to the edge of the continental shelf depositing low sea level deltae. Thus, the edge of the shelf is stacked depocenters. The Mobile River delta off Alabama and the Brazos-Trinity complex off Texas are prime examples. The continued transport downslope today from these old shelf edge deltae pose considerable geotechnical problems to development. The processes carrying material to deepwater are numerous and poorly understood. Recent advances are linked to new technology. Processing of seismic signals to see through salt and back stripping have proven invaluable. These have produced a more realistic picture of salt tectonics.

Initial rifting is of Late Devonian age and was accompanied by extensive salt accumulation. Pre-rift and syn-rift Devonian sequences are overlain by thick post-rift Carboniferous, Permian, Mesozoic, and Palaeogene sediments. The maximum thickness of sediments, accumulated during the whole late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic history of the PDD Basin reaches 2-6 km to the north-west and 15-19 km to the south-east. Main phases of halokinesis took place during the post-rift stage strongly affecting the PDD Basin geometry.

Extractions: Application of salt tectonics to the understanding of granite emplacement 1998, Mike Unger, except for figures 2, 3 and 4 - "Granite is regarded as a ftone of more recent formation than the ftrata incumbent on it: as a fubftance which has been melted by heat, and which, when forced up from the mineral regions, has elevated the ftrata at the fame time" - Playfair, 1802 , pg. 84) INTRODUCTION: The emplacement of granitic rocks has been debated since Hutton first recognized that granites often have an intrusive relationship with their surrounding country rock in his 1795 treatise Theory of the Earth with Proofs and Illustrations (in Playfair, 1802 Brown, 1996 ). The proposal that granitic rocks originate as fluids (magma) derived from partial melting of crustal rocks is now universally accepted; however, the processes by which granitic magmas move upward through the crust of the earth to their level of emplacement are not well understood. Similarly, the deformation of the rocks through which granitic magmas move and into which they are finally emplaced is also poorly understood. Fortunately for hard rock geologists interested in granitic emplacement, the intrusion of salt diapirs into overlying sediments is much more completely understood, as is the deformation of the rocks above and around the salt intrusion. This is due primarily to the hydrocarbons often found in the structures surrounding salt diapirs, which have enticed the petroleum industry to spend many billions of dollars trying to better understand how salt moves and how salt deforms its overburden. However, there are still some parts of salt tectonics which are poorly understood (i.e. the structure that exists beneath a salt canopy). At first glance, it seems that much may be learned about granites and their emplacement through studying the deformation associated with salt tectonics. In much the same way, some of the knowledge gained in studying granitic intrusions may be applicable to unanswered question in salt tectonics.
