Field Trip Narrative with Photos
U3A Naturalists’ Field Trip to Derbyshire 8-12 June 2015 Group outside the hotel 30 members of our group set out from Harrogate for our first venue which was Potteric Carr Nature Reserve run by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust near Doncaster, where various guides escorted us around the large reserve which has a variety of habitats ranging from lagoons to woodland. We then continued to Dovedale in Derbyshire where we stayed in the Holiday Fellow- ship Centre there. Unlike previous years when we had the venue to ourselves, we were sharing with other groups each following a different pursuit. It also meant that we shared tables at meal times and could join in a variety of evening activities such as country dancing which proved to be quite popular with some members. We explored Dovedale itself the following day and began by climbing Thorpe Cloud just behind the hotel for the magnificent views from the top. Dovedale is set amidst limestone scenery and is part of ‘The White Peak’. We enjoyed a day of examining the flora and tree species inhabiting the dale and some of us extended the walk and returned via a fairly ‘ adventurous’ route on a higher path to enjoy the magnificent scenery. Wednesday took us to Lathkill Dale – a beautiful On top of Thorpe Cloud valley with a crystal clear stream running through it and remnants of industrial archaeology where an innovative system of water pipes helped provide a constant supply of water to the surrounding area. Further up the dale we found a unique location for the attractive ‘ Jacob’s Ladder’ ( Polemonium caeruleum). -
Describe the Geometry of a Fault (1) Orientation of the Plane (Strike and Dip) (2) Slip Vector
Learning goals - January 16, 2012 You will understand how to: Describe the geometry of a fault (1) orientation of the plane (strike and dip) (2) slip vector Understand concept of slip rate and how it is estimated Describe faults (the above plus some jargon weʼll need) Categories of Faults (EOSC 110 version) “Normal” fault “Thrust” or “reverse” fault “Strike-slip” or “transform” faults Two kinds of strike-slip faults Right-lateral Left-lateral (dextral) (sinistral) Stand with your feet on either side of the fault. Which side comes toward you when the fault slips? Another way to tell: stand on one side of the fault looking toward it. Which way does the block on the other side move? Right-lateral Left-lateral (dextral) (sinistral) 1992 M 7.4 Landers, California Earthquake rupture (SCEC) Describing the fault geometry: fault plane orientation How do you usually describe a plane (with lines)? In geology, we choose these two lines to be: • strike • dip strike dip • strike is the azimuth of the line where the fault plane intersects the horizontal plane. Measured clockwise from N. • dip is the angle with respect to the horizontal of the line of steepest descent (perpendic. to strike) (a ball would roll down it). strike “60°” dip “30° (to the SE)” Profile view, as often shown on block diagrams strike 30° “hanging wall” “footwall” 0° N Map view Profile view 90° W E 270° S 180° Strike?

Newsletter Autumn 2017
LONG DISTANCE WALKERS ASSOCIATION AIM: TO FURTHER THE INTERESTS OF THOSE WHO ENJOY LONG DISTANCE WALKING BEDS, BUCKS & NORTHANTS GROUP NEWSLETTER AUTUMN 2017 HAVE A GREAT DAY OUT, WALK WITH BBN www.ldwa.org.uk/bedsbucksandnorthants NEW MEMBERS A very warm welcome to our new members Matthew Lane and David Trew, and welcome back Judy Nickerson. CHAIRMAN’S CHATTER A picture is worth a thousand words (Who sang that? There’s a question for you). Our very own Steve Clark supplied the front cover picture for the August Strider which summed up the sheer exuberance of youth and the joy of taking part in the annual 48 hour non-stop party also known as the LDWA North York Moors 100. Steve was telling us at a party hosted by his “mate Eamsie” that he asked the woman concerned Sharon Sullivan to do this 3 or 4 times. She was only too happy to oblige! Steve reached a big birthday recently and I was very pleased to meet him, Sylvie, his sister Barbara and Cap’n Betty Sherry on their Canal Boat Trip at The Plough on the day concerned. As Steve is doing The Annapurna Sanctuary in December we can expect lots of photos on his website. Speaking of social media affairs, the BBN Facebook group continues to go from strength to strength ably marshalled by Daniel and Gill with them readily accepting new members. As we are now a public group anyone can see what we do for fun on Thursdays, Sundays, and occasionally Saturdays. The other days we’ll leave to their imagination! The photographs are continually updated and show what a varied walks programme we have. -

Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England
THE UNIVERSITY OF HULL Reconstructing Palaeoenvironments of the White Peak Region of Derbyshire, Northern England being a Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Simon John Kitcher MPhysGeog May 2014 Declaration I hereby declare that the work presented in this thesis is my own, except where otherwise stated, and that it has not been previously submitted in application for any other degree at any other educational institution in the United Kingdom or overseas. ii Abstract Sub-fossil pollen from Holocene tufa pool sediments is used to investigate middle – late Holocene environmental conditions in the White Peak region of the Derbyshire Peak District in northern England. The overall aim is to use pollen analysis to resolve the relative influence of climate and anthropogenic landscape disturbance on the cessation of tufa production at Lathkill Dale and Monsal Dale in the White Peak region of the Peak District using past vegetation cover as a proxy. Modern White Peak pollen – vegetation relationships are examined to aid semi- quantitative interpretation of sub-fossil pollen assemblages. Moss-polsters and vegetation surveys incorporating novel methodologies are used to produce new Relative Pollen Productivity Estimates (RPPE) for 6 tree taxa, and new association indices for 16 herb taxa. RPPE’s of Alnus, Fraxinus and Pinus were similar to those produced at other European sites; Betula values displaying similarity with other UK sites only. RPPE’s for Fagus and Corylus were significantly lower than at other European sites. Pollen taphonomy in woodland floor mosses in Derbyshire and East Yorkshire is investigated. -
The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is It Missing?
The 1717 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge. Is it missing? Ann Hall with valuable assistance from Alan Jones Introduction When Alison Stuart was preparing to move out of her family home at Christmas Cottage in Little Longstone shortly after Michael's death in 2012, she asked Hillary Clarke and I to help with finding the most appropriate home for papers that he had collected during his historical research. As we worked through a lifetime's work on many topics of local interest we came upon a photocopy of a guide stoop. Hilary recognised it as the one from Longstone Edge and I became interested to find out more. This article is the result of my investigations. Some of my chief sources of information were from books which describe rambles through Derbyshire in a rather romantic manner in the first half of the nineteenth century. They were not intended to be full scientific records of features along the way but rather a description of interesting walks and fascinating items along the route. The record in the books is not always reliable but I have tried to extract as much sound information as I can. There are records of a guide stoop, dated 1717, on Longstone Edge since 1905. Some of the earlier information is quite detailed and this suggests that it really was in existence at Page 2 of 5 Guide Stoop on Longstone Edge the time of the recording. In more recent reports it is listed as missing. My recent research intended to find out if it really is lost for ever. -

Ductile Deformation - Concepts of Finite Strain
327 Ductile deformation - Concepts of finite strain Deformation includes any process that results in a change in shape, size or location of a body. A solid body subjected to external forces tends to move or change its displacement. These displacements can involve four distinct component patterns: - 1) A body is forced to change its position; it undergoes translation. - 2) A body is forced to change its orientation; it undergoes rotation. - 3) A body is forced to change size; it undergoes dilation. - 4) A body is forced to change shape; it undergoes distortion. These movement components are often described in terms of slip or flow. The distinction is scale- dependent, slip describing movement on a discrete plane, whereas flow is a penetrative movement that involves the whole of the rock. The four basic movements may be combined. - During rigid body deformation, rocks are translated and/or rotated but the original size and shape are preserved. - If instead of moving, the body absorbs some or all the forces, it becomes stressed. The forces then cause particle displacement within the body so that the body changes its shape and/or size; it becomes deformed. Deformation describes the complete transformation from the initial to the final geometry and location of a body. Deformation produces discontinuities in brittle rocks. In ductile rocks, deformation is macroscopically continuous, distributed within the mass of the rock. Instead, brittle deformation essentially involves relative movements between undeformed (but displaced) blocks. Finite strain jpb, 2019 328 Strain describes the non-rigid body deformation, i.e. the amount of movement caused by stresses between parts of a body. -

UNDER THE EDGE INCORPORATING THE PARISH MAGAZINE GREAT LONGSTONE, LITTLE LONGSTONE, ROWLAND, HASSOP, MONSAL HEAD, WARDLOW www.undertheedge.net No. 268 May 2021 ISSN 1466-8211 Stars in His Eyes The winner of the final category of the Virtual Photographic (IpheionCompetition uniflorum) (Full Bloom) with a third of all votes is ten year old Alfie Holdsworth Salter. His photo is of a Spring Starflower or Springstar , part of the onion and amyrillis family. The flowers are honey scented, which is no doubt what attracted the ant. Alfie is a keen photographer with his own Olympus DSLR camera, and this scene caught his eye under a large yew tree at the bottom of Church Lane. His creativity is not limited just to photography: Alfie loves cats and in Year 5 he and a friend made a comic called Cat Man! A total of 39 people took part in our photographic competition this year and we hope you had fun and found it an interesting challenge. We have all had to adapt our ways of doing things over the last year and transferring this competition to an online format, though different, has been a great success. Now that we are beginning to open up and get back to our normal lives, maybe this is the blueprint for the future of the competition? 39 people submitted a total of 124 photographs across the four categories, with nearly 100 taking part in voting for their favourite entry. Everyone who entered will be sent a feedback form: please fill it in withJane any Littlefieldsuggestions for the future.
