Secret of the Highlands, The (2 Parts)

Synopsis: A detailed study of field aspects associated with the Moint Thrust belt, recorded entirely on location in north-west Scotland. Examines how geologists recognise and map out-thrusts, discover how they moved, their relative sequences and their interaction to make complex structures. This leads into the nature of the fault zones, the transition from seismogenic (i.e. cataclastic) faulting to ductile (mylonitic) shears. Contrasts the styles of deformation with the broad shear zones within the Moine themselves to look at mid-crustal deformation and the nature of reflectors on MOIST, etc.
