Estimating exhumation from seismic stacking velocity data : a case study from the Slyne Basin, offshore NW Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2012)Exhumation describes the vertical upward displacement of rocks due to the removal of overburden material. In this study, seismic velocity profiles from 2D and 3D seismic reflection datasets have been inverted to constrain ... -
Tertiary dykes in northwest Ireland: field occurrence, emplacement mechanisms, host rock deformation, and post-emplacement strain and denudation
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2006)This work provides insight into the Tertiary tectonic and stress history of northwest Ireland. It focuses on igneous dykes, as these are the only rocks of Tertiary age in the region. The work also looks at the fundamental ... -
Geophysical exploration for offshore evidence of relict shorelines on the northern coast of Ireland
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2014)The current generation of postglacial Relative Sea Level (RSL) change simulations in formerly glaciated margins display significant deviations from field evidence. This is particularly true in Ireland where the RSL history ... -
An experimental study of the geometry and kinematics of caldera collapse
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2008)Calderas are 1 - 100 km diameter, volcanic depressions that form primarily through m-scale to km–scale subsidence of a magma reservoir roof into an underlying magma reservoir. This study addresses several fundamental ... -
Consequences of giant landslides on ocean island magmatism: volcanic and geochemical evolution of the Teno massif, Tenerife, and El Hierro Island (Canary Archipelago)
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2009) -
An investigation of the palynology, stratigraphy and palaeogeography of carboniferous rocks in western Irish offshore basins
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2012) -
Irish sills of the North Atlantic Igneous Province : seismic imaging observations and implications for climate change
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2011) -
The geological evolution of the southern Tanzanian continential margin
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2013) -
The geological evolution of the petroleum prospective Mandawa Basin southern coastal Tanzania
(Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland). Department of Geology, 2011) -
Landscape evolution at a young rifted margin: the Loreto region of Baja California Sur, Mexico.
(Imperial College London, Imperial College London, 2012)Continental rifts are commonly flanked by zones of high elevation. Proposed uplift mechanisms include active and induced asthenospheric upwelling, and isostatically driven lithospheric flexure. Although these hypotheses ...
