  • Former Fellows Biographical Index Part
    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • Geological Notes and Location Descriptions for Field Excursions
    Inverness: 30 April - 7 May Inverness: 30 Geological notes and location descriptions for field excursions Deformation mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics 2017 Deformation mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics 1 Geological notes* The crustal evolution and geology of NW Scotland can be considered with reference to the Palaeozoic Caledonian orogeny. This major episode of crustal reworking was associated with the formation of a North Atlantic Craton – suturing the Proterozoic and older crustal blocks of Laurentian and Baltica (together with Avalonia, further south). NW Scotland contains part of the western margin of this orogen (or at least its more intense parts), a tectonic feature termed the Moine Thrust Belt. The foreland to the thrust belt preserves much older geology, exhumed from up to 35-40km depth, that give insight to processes that form, rework and reassemble the continental crust. The Caledonian rocks allow us to follow a transect from exhumed middle crustal sections within the orogen out into the foreland. Collectively these outcrops provide arrays of analogues for crustal geology and deformation structures, and we can use these to promote discussion of their geophysical characteristics when targeted in situ. However, the Caledonian crust, together with its foreland, has seen later deformation associated with the formation of sedimentary basins, chiefly in the immediate offshore. We can also access basin faults and examine not only their individual characteristics but also debate how they may have been influenced by pre-existing structures. Pre-Caledonian geology The Lewisian. The Lewisian forms the oldest basement to the British Isles and has classic Laurentian geology. The key geological markers in the field used to build up a sequence of geological events are a suite of NW-SE-trending metabasic sheets – the Scourie dykes.
