The Society is particularly glad to welcome a number of young recruits, who are contributing keen observations. We deeply regret the loss by death of six members. Miss D. Valentine's resignation as Joint Honorary Secretary is also deeply felt, but as she is now living permanently out of Corn­ wall she felt compelled to take the step.

  • MA11 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5
    Location reference: Lower Fal Management Area reference: MA11 Policy Development Zone: PDZ5 Cornwall and Isles of Scilly SMP2 Final Report Chapter 4 PDZ5 7 February 2011 DISCUSSION AND DETAILED POLICY DEVELOPMENT The preferred plan for the Lower Fal aims to balance the provision of support to the core settlements of Falmouth, Penryn, St Mawes, St Just, Flushing, Restronguet and Mylor (in line with the high-level SMP objectives) with a management approach which does not adversely impact on the undeveloped parts of the lower estuary and importantly takes account of any potential impacts on the Fal & Helford SAC. It is important to note that there is a legal requirement to not adversely affect the integrity of the SAC; through impacts such as the loss of intertidal feeding areas by not allowing the high water mark to move inland due to climate change. This, of course, requires a number of different policy options to be employed at different locations. From a high level view-point, it can be seen that across the whole Management Area (and indeed across the entire estuary system) there will be a trend toward a reduction in intertidal area due to sea level rise. Wherever the landward movement of MHWS is constrained by the rising topography or defences, reduction in intertidal area may occur. It is likely that a net overall reduction in intertidal area may occur toward the latter part of the SMP timeframe when considering sea level rise in isolation. However the picture is actually much more complex than this – erosion, accretion, sedimentation, changes in the tidal prism, increases in rainfall and fluvial flow will also affect the current pattern of intertidal exposure.

  • Late- to Post-Variscan Structures on the Coast Between Penzance And
    Read at the Annual Conference of the Ussher Society, January 1996 LATE- TO POST-VARISCAN STRUCTURES ON THE COAST BETWEEN PENZANCE AND PENTEWAN, SOUTH CORNWALL A.C. ALEXANDER AND R.K. SHALL Alexander, A.C. and Shail, R.K. 1996. Late- to post-Variscan structures on the coast between Penzance and Pentewan, south Cornwall. Proceedings of the Ussher Society, 9, 072-078. The occurrence of two generations (D1/D2) of folds and cleavage, compatible with a top to the north-north-west sense of shear during Variscan convergence is confirmed. A subsequent change in the stress regime (σ 1 ≈ vertical, σ3 ≈ north-north-west-south-south-east) brought about the extensional reactivation of convergence-related features. The resultant D3 structures are diverse and include zones of distributed shear within the footwall of the Carrick Thrust, together with detachments and high angle brittle extensional faults within the hangingwall. D3 deformation probably initiated during the Stephanian, prior to lamprophyre intrusion, but persisted into the early Permian and was partially synchronous with granite emplacement and high temperature mineralization. Changes in the stress regime during the Permian (σ 1 ≈ east-north-east-west-south-west, σ3 ≈ north-north-west-south-south-east to σ 1 ≈ north-north-west-southsouth-east, σ3 ≈ east-north-east-west- south-west) resulted in strike-slip faulting and the formation of steeply dipping cleavages. Triassic rift-related extension is also recognised (σ 1 ≈ vertical, σ3 ≈ east-north-east-west-south-west). Low temperature base metal mineralization was in part synchronous with Permian and Triassic faulting. This study demonstrates that the Variscan basement in south Cornwall preserves a valuable record of the late Palaeozoic to Mesozoic tectonic evolution of the region.
