Residual gravity anomalies across England from a 3D gravity-stripping model: preliminary evidence for Paleozoic basins and crustal structure

John Donato (a founding member of Merlin) continues to enjoy an active retirement through his work with the UKOGL/Beneath Britain Group.  In collaboration with Chris Pullan and Malcolm Butler, he has recently published a new gravity interpretation of the deep geology of England. Continue reading this short newsletter which gives a taster of John's new paper, and, if you want more, you can read it in full on the UKOGL website (link in the article).

Devon and Cornwall, a Four Hundred Kilometre Journey?

During his semi-retirement, John Donato has been using some of his spare time to work with the academic ‘Beneath Britain Group’, formed as a joint initiative between UKOGL (UK Onshore Geophysical Library) and the Department of Earth Sciences at Oxford University. He has recently published a third paper on the Beneath Britain website, this time authored jointly with Chris Pullan (CP Exploration). Continue reading to get a flavour of this new publication entitled 'The Eastern Extension of Southwest England under the Mesozoic Southern England Basin and its Variscan Dextral Translation'.
