Hydrogeochemistry as an aid to geological interpretation: the Glen Roy area, Scotland

Cenozoic reactivation of the Great Glen Fault , Scotland : Additional

13 The Great Glen Fault (GGF) trends NNE-SSW across northern Scotland. According to 14 previous studies, the GGF developed as a left-lateral strike slip fault during the Caledonian 15 Orogeny (Ordovician to Early Devonian). However, it then reactivated right-laterally in the 16 Tertiary. We discuss additional evidence for this later phase. At Eathie and Shandwick, minor 17 folds and faults in f...

Color Graphics: An Aid to Data Interpretation

Color displays, because of their high information content, have inherent advantages over monochromatic display terminals. The extra dimensions that color adds to traditional CRT displays can be utilized to provide faster and more accurate pattern recognition for the human eye, as well as a corresponding increase in quantitative and qualitative information. These advantages have been realized in...

Hydrogeochemistry of the Mid-levels Area, Hong Kong

Groundwater and seepage samples were collected from both the natural and building-modified slopes in the highly urbanized spaces of the Mid-Levels area, Hong Kong. Groundwater in the natural slopes, although retaining some signatures from rainwater, is enriched in major cations such as Na, K, Ca and Mg and some anions such as HCO3 and SO4. Clearly, water-rock interactions, such as weathering of...

Multi-element soil analysis: an assessment of its potential as an aid to archaeological interpretation

Multi-element soil analysis is now an established technique in archaeology. It has been used to locate archaeological sites and define the extent of human activity beyond the structural remains, and to aid interpretation of space use in and around archaeological remains. This study aimed to evaluate the consistency of these soil element signatures between sites and hence their potential usefuln...
