The sedimentology and palaeogeography of some Devonian sedimentary rocks in Southwest Ireland
The area investigated for this thesis is the western end of the Iveragh Peninsula, Co. Kerry, southwest Ireland. The rocks in the area are predominantly of Old Red Sandstone facies, totalling over 6600m in thickness, and were deposited near the northern fault-bounded margin of the extensive …

Mid- to late Cretaceous Microbiostratigraphy, Palaeo-ecology and Palaeogeography of the Sergipe Basin, northeastern Brazil
The palaeo-ecology and biostratigraphy of foraminiferal, radiolarian and diatom assemblages have been studied through the upper Aptian to Maastrichtian sedimentary succession of the Sergipe Basin, northeastern Brazil. The systematic taxonomy of the microfauna studied is documented and completely …

A Palaeoecological approach to understanding the impact of coastal changes in Late Holocene societies using the Isles of Scilly as a case study
… using the Bradley et al (2011) method. Palaeogeography maps were produced applying the sea level curve to a new combined bathymetric and topographic model for Scilly. Scilly separated from the mainland around 11500 cal BP, and the islands obtained their modern configuration around 4000 …

Late Cainozoic rainforest vertebrates from Australopapua: evolution, biogeography and extinction
… phylogenetic data with latest understanding of palaeogeography, tectonics and sea level history along Australia‟s northern margin to provide hypotheses of faunal dispersal between New Guinea and mainland Australia throughout the Neogene.

The palaeolithic of the Avon valley: a geoarchaeological approach to the hominin colonisation of Britain.
… the current knowledge of the Pleistocene palaeogeography and hominin occupation of Britain and how a geoarchaeological reinvestigation into the Avon valley archaeological record can contribute to the understanding of the British Palaeolithic. The study of seven Pleistocene fluvial terrace …

A palynological investigation of Upper Jurassic basal Cretaceous sediments from England, France and Iberia
… sedimentology, mineralogy, biostratigraphy and palaeogeography. Two applications of this data are demonstrated:- 1) Palynofacies types can be recognized which can be related to to environmental parameters such as distance from shore-line, water depth and turbulence. 2) The kerogen types present …

Late Paleozoic basin analysis of the Loppa High and Finnmark Platform in the Norwegian Barents Sea : integration of seismic attributes and seismic sequence stratigraphy
… on seismic sequence stratigraphy analysis the palaeogeography in time and space of the Loppa High basin was furthermore reconstructed and a new and more detailed tectono-sedimentary model for this area was proposed. In the Finnmark platform area, a detailed core analysis of two main exploration …

Sedimentology, provenance, and salt-sediment interaction in the Ediacaran Pound subgroup, Flinders Ranges, South Australia
… provide substantial new information as to the palaeogeography of South Australia during this time, and are the product of interpretation using multiple lines of evidence and the study of numerous localities. Throughout the Adelaide Rift Complex, salt diapirs penetrated the basin fill and formed …

Quaternary environmental changes in the fluvial and faunal history of central Northamptonshire
… may be used as a model when reconstructing the palaeogeography of other rivers and their floodplains by means of their sedimentary structures and related fossils. This idea is explored to a small extent in the thesis, but is more applicable to future work. The new ostracod data throws new light …

The evolution of a sand-rich basin-fill sequence in the Pendleian (Namurian,E1c)of North-West England
… This unconformity heralds a major change in the palaeogeography of north-west England and the beginning of Grassington Grit Group deposition. The fluvial clastic input moved eastwards, supplying sediment directly into shallow water on the Askrigg Block. This resulted in rapid progradation of a …

Closure of the Neotethys Ocean in Anatolia : structural, petrologic and geochronologic insights from low-grade high-pressure metasediments, Afyon Zone
… Tethyan oceans and continents (i.e., the Tethyan palaeogeography) remains debated. This is particularly the case of Western and Central Anatolia, where a continental fragment was accreted to the southern composite margin of the Eurasia sometime between the Late Cretaceous and the early Cenozoic. …
