Phylogeography of reef fishes across the line Islands: uncovering population structure in a data deficient region Open
Despite decades of study, it remains difficult to predict the genetic structure of populations of marine species, even with extensive knowledge of the regional oceanography, geography, and the life history of the species. Genetic data prov…

Chalk marl seams: not quite what they seem.. Open
The origin of wispy marl seams and nodular chalk has long been debated, particularly regarding their sedimentary versus diagenetic origins. Through scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations of thin sections from the Chalk of Southern…

Thickness variations in the Kimmeridge Clay Formation in southern and eastern Britain: implications for Late Jurassic basin evolution Open
The Kimmeridge Clay Formation is a mudrock-dominated succession deposited during the Upper Jurassic –Kimmeridgian and Lower Tithonian stages– in a shallow shelf environment, below fair- weather wave base. With a maximum thickne…

The lithostratigraphical context of the English Chalk Rock (Turonian) Open
Correlations of borehole geophysical logs in the middle and upper Turonian Chalk Group are used to consider recent proposals for a revision in understanding of a unit of hardgrounds (Chalk Rock) and associated stratigraphy developed across…

Stratigraphical influence on chalk cave development in Upper Normandy, France: implications for chalk hydrogeology Open
Classically, the Upper Cretaceous Chalk Group aquifer of northwest Europe is conceptualized as a homogenous dual-porosity aquifer, with high porosity related to its fine-grained porous matrix, and intermediate hydraulic conductivity associ…

Surface and subsurface fault mapping in the Yorkshire Wolds, UK Open
<p>The Flamborough Head Fault Zone (FHFZ) marks the southern extent of the Cleveland Basin and the northern margin of the Market Weighton Block, England. It is a regionally-significant structural zone which has undergone a complex hi…

The ‘reasonable management action’ exception in workers’ compensation claims in Tasmania: an analysis of published decisions Open
Workers who suffer a work-related psychological injury are generally entitledto claim no-fault workers’ compensation, except where an injury wassubstantially caused by ‘reasonable management action.’ Workers shouldexpect to be safe from ps…

Processes for disputing liability to pay workers’ compensation for psychological injury Open
Where a worker makes a claim for workers' compensation, employers may resist the payment of compensation on the basis that they have a defence. This article concerns the preliminary processes by which disputes about liability are raised an…

Christopher John Wood (18 August 1939–27 January 2016): Palaeontologist and ‘owl’ of the Cretaceous Open
Chris Wood enhanced the world of Cretaceous research for more than 50 years. His British Geological Survey work helped develop the lithostratigraphy and biostratigraphy used to build the framework for investigating and then remapping the C…

Assessing sampling of the fossil record in a geographically and stratigraphically constrained dataset: the Chalk Group of Hampshire, southern UK Open
Taphonomic, geological and sampling processes have been cited as biasing richness measurements in the fossil record, and sampling proxies have been widely used to assess this. However, the link between sampling and taxonomic richness is po…

The Furongian (late Cambrian) Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion (SPICE) in Avalonia Open
The Steptoean Positive Carbon Isotope Excursion (SPICE) of earliest late Cambrian (Furongian) age is identified in England. The excursion is found within a c. 145 m thick siliciclastic succession within the middle and higher part of the Ou…

Predicting the subsurface Open
Britain is blessed with a magnificent variety of landscapes, much of it the result of the diverse range of rock types that form our small island, and the different ways in which they respond to weathering and erosion. Nowhere is this clear…
