Geology of England and Wales Tapa dura - 2006

London: The Geological Society, 2006.

Forty specialists have contributed to 18 chapters, which are placed in approximately temporal order. The final chapter looks at the future, from the short-term effects of climate change and sea-level rise to the position of our region in a possible plate tectonic configuration 200 million years hence. While the authors have taken a ‘dynamic’ view of the evolution of the area over geological time, they have also ensured that the geological evidence on which the interpretations are based is reviewed thoroughly.
