Subregions To present the conclusions of our work in a concise and accessible way, we have divided Wales into 6 subregions (see Figure 1 below). We have selected subregions with broadly similar geological attributes relevant to the safety of a GDF, although there is still considerable variability in each subregion. The boundaries between subregions may locally coincide with the extent of a particular Rock Type of Interest, or may correspond to discrete features such as faults.

Staff: establishment Maintain appropriate levels of staff There has been no staff movement during the quarter. From April the Deputy Glamorgan Archivist reduced her hours to 30 a week. Review establishment The manager-led regrading process has been followed for four staff positions in which responsibilities have increased since the original evaluation was completed. The posts are Administrative Officer, Senior Records Officer, Records Assistant and Preservation Assistant. All were in detriment following the single status assessment and comprise 7 members of staff. Applications have been submitted and results are awaited. 1 Develop skill sharing programme During the quarter 44 volunteers and work experience placements have contributed 1917 hours to the work of the Office. Of these 19 came from Cardiff, nine each from the Vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend, four from Rhondda Cynon Taf and three from outside our area: from Newport, Haverfordwest and Catalonia.

  • The Involvement of the Women of the South Wales Coalfield In
    “Not Just Supporting But Leading”: The Involvement of the Women of the South Wales Coalfield in the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike By Rebecca Davies Enrolment: 00068411 Thesis submitted for Doctor of Philosophy degree at the University of Glamorgan February 2010. ABSTRACT The 1984-85 miners’ strike dramatically changed the face of the South Wales Valleys. This dissertation will show that the women’s groups that played such a crucial supportive role in it were not the homogenous entity that has often been portrayed. They shared some comparable features with similar groups in English pit villages but there were also qualitative differences between the South Wales groups and their English counterparts and between the different Welsh groups themselves. There is evidence of tensions between the Welsh groups and disputes with the communities they were trying to assist, as well as clashes with local miners’ lodges and the South Wales NUM. At the same time women’s support groups, various in structure and purpose but united in the aim of supporting the miners, challenged and shifted the balance of established gender roles The miners’ strike evokes warm memories of communities bonding together to fight for their survival. This thesis investigates in detail the women involved in support groups to discover what impact their involvement made on their lives afterwards. Their role is contextualised by the long-standing tradition of Welsh women’s involvement in popular politics and industrial disputes; however, not all women discovered a new confidence arising from their involvement. But others did and for them this self-belief survived the strike and, in some cases, permanently altered their own lives.

  • PT Conditions in the South Wales Coalfield
    Journal of the Geological Society, London, Vol. 153, 1996, pp. 265-275, 10 figs. 2 tables. Printed in Northern Ireland P-T conditions in the South Wales Coalfield: evidence from coexisting hydrocarbon and aqueous fluid inclusions D. H. M. ALDERTON’ & R. E. BEVINS2 I Department of Geology, Royal Holloway (University of London), Egham, Surrey TW20 OEX, UK ’Department of Geology, National Museum of Wales, Cardiff CFl 3NP, UK Abstract: Siderite nodules in the Carboniferous Coal Measures of South Wales contain cavities which are often infilled with quartz, carbonates, sulphides, and hydrocarbons. The quartz contains a mixture of hydrocarbon and aqueous fluid inclusions. The aqueous fluid inclusions consist of a dilute brine (3 wt % NaCl equivalent) and have homogenization temperatures in the range 97-212 “C (mean 143 “C). The hydrocarbon fluid inclusions are dominated by methane with a small component of higher order hydrocarbons;their homogenization temperatures are in therange 35-78°C (mean54°C). It is assumed that the two fluids were trapped simultaneously during growth of the quartz and thus a P-T estimate of entrapment can be obtained by graphical intersection of the hydrocarbon isochores and the aqueous fluid bubble point (homogenization) temperatures assuming hydrocarbon saturation. This method gives temperaturesbetween 130 and160”C, and pressures between 40 and 55 MPa. The timing of mineralization is uncertain, but it is suggested that it took place during burial and low grade metamorphism of the subsiding sedimentary basin (i.e. in the Upper Carboniferous). The hydrother- mal fluids were probably derived from evolved meteoric or connate waters expelled during subsidence and sediment compaction.

  • The First City-Wide Map of Shallow Groundwater Temperatures in the UK
    1 The first city-wide map of shallow groundwater 2 temperatures in the UK to support the development of 3 ground source heat systems 4 Gareth Farr1, Ashley M. Patton1, David P. Boon1, David R. James2, Bernard Williams2 & David 5 I. Schofield1. 6 1British Geological Survey, Columbus House, Tongwynlais, Cardiff, CF15 7NE, UK 7 2Cardiff Harbour Authority, Queen Alexandra House, Cargo Road, Cardiff Bay, CF10 4LY, UK 8 *Corresponding author (e-mail: [email protected]) 9 10 Keywords: ground source heating, open loop, urban heat island, low enthalpy, Cardiff, Wales. 11 12 Abstract: Low enthalpy ground source heating systems can help to reduce our dependency on fossil 13 fuels, in turn reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing energy security. In order to de-risk and 14 support the sustainable development, regulation and management of ground source heating systems in 15 urban areas, detailed baseline mapping of groundwater temperatures is required. Groundwater 16 temperatures were measured in 168 monitoring boreholes primarily within a Quaternary sand and gravel 17 aquifer in the city of Cardiff, UK. The data has been used to create the first city-wide map of shallow 18 groundwater temperatures in the UK. This map can be used both to support development of ground 19 source heating but also to act as a detailed baseline from which to measure change. Shallow groundwater 20 temperatures under the city were found to be 2°C warmer than the UK average groundwater temperature 21 and this additional heat is attributed to the Urban Heat Island. The Zone of Seasonal Fluctuation varies 22 from 7.1 and 15.5 mbgl within the shallow Quaternary aquifer, averaging 9.5 mbgl.
