Studies in detail the Capitan Reef, the largest known fossilised reef, which is preserved in the desert along the New Mexico/Texas border. It is illustrated by the Capitan Reef ‘diorama’ which was filmed...
The Okenfenokee Swamp, a freshwater swamp in southern Georgia, is now nearly 200 feet above sea level but was originally part of the sea floor when the Atlantic extended further inland. When the sea...
Identifies some of the geological complexities in coalfields and explains their origins. Illustrates how, as a consequence of changes in mining practices, more information is now needed about the geology of...
Teaching module designed to cover the main aspects of arc magmatism at mantle wedge and intracrustal levels, giving a complete picture of the processes involved in magma petrogenesis in island and...
Libya is rich in hydrocarbons and the southern part of the country in particular has attracted much of the petroleum industry’s attention. This film aims to give a comprehensive introduction into the...
The opening sequences illustrate, with the aid of an optical bench, the general theory of the formation of the Becke line. The theory is then applied to microscope studies using both grain mounts and thin...
Volcanoes produce a wide variety of different features on the surface, which are often controlled by the viscosity of the magma, which is in turn controlled by its composition and the temperature at which it...
First shows a large-scale polarising microscope, demonstrating the principles of optical mineralogy and includes animation about light polarisation and interference. Then shows the preparation of rock thin...
Teaching module on the dynamic aspects of stratigraphy - how the main controls on basin-fill sequences (eustacy, subsidence/uplift, sediment supply) affect the stratigraphic product. Approximately 4 hours...
Introduces the outcrop geology of the Oman ophiolite. An ophiolite complex is the rock succession created at oceanic spreading ridge, for example at the midi-Atlantic ridge now. Rarely in geological history...
