This resource – the Stillwater Reservoir Conflict – is an activity that simulates the roles played by various interested parties when the siting of a reservoir is the subject of a public enquiry. Stillwater Reservoir ConflictThis outlines the activity which is designed to help students appreciate the importance of geology to society. It also develops …
These resources cover industrial brownfield sites, stages in development of these sites and the remediation technologies used. This is one of three PDFs explaining what is meant by the term ‘brownfield site’, covering the contaminants that may occur on brownfield sites and outlining the physical remediation technologies that can be used on these sites. Part …
This resource is a basic introduction to looking at rocks in thin section. The resource includes a section outlining the parts of a polarising light microscope. There is a section showing how this microscope can be used to study the optical properties of minerals in rock thin section. There are video clips showing the optical …
This sand analysis exercise is based on two sand samples from different locations. Two 0.15kg samples of sands from different locations have been passed through sieves of decreasing size until all the material is retained. The contents of each sieve have been weighed and the results are given in two tables. Worked examples are included …

Metamorphism for A-Level students. These resources were prepared by Prof John Wheeler for a meeting of A-Level Geology students. This resource is a PDF of John Wheeler’s lecture for A-level Geology students. In his lecture John explains metamorphism. This PowerPoint shows the metamorphic reaction mentioned on pages 61 & 62 of the PDF of the …
This resource explains the diagenetic processes in sandstones and details the processes that result in anomalous porosity. The future of exploration? This PDF covers the diagenetic processes in sandstones and details the processes that result in anomalous porosity. It also explains the need to develop sophisticated geological models to find high porosity anomalies in the …
