AT the anniversary of the Geological Society, held on the I9th inst., the retiring President, Sir Archibald Geikie, gave the annual address, which was devoted to a continuation of the subject treated of by him last year. He now dealt with the history of volcanic action in this country ...
The British Commonwealth of Nations consists of the United Kingdom, the Dominions (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Ceylon), the Colonies and Protectorates, and the Territories under Trusteeship.
Both geological and geodetic evidence (summarized in the work of Teferle et al. [2006]) suggests that the PGR rate in the north of the UK is higher than in the south, and may reach as high as 1 mm/a. This would certainly impact upon the position of the datum monuments with respect...
Iceland is known for its spectacular scenery, shaped by geological activity. With volcanoes, glaciers, geysers, and waterfalls, the country offers an abundance of natural attractions. But Iceland’s appeal goes beyond its landscapes—it's a place rich in culture, history, and a fiercely proud na...

The most striking features of the maps can be described by referring at the geological history of Europe. It is beyond the aim of this study to give a full reference to all the map features, but we try to give a short interpretation of the most striking ones. The silt content spatial ...
Moreover, related life history features, inconsistent with human activities or production, render multiple introductions improbable. All of these points make the first assumption rather unlikely. The second hypothesis conforms to predictions of the effects of the ice ages on genetic variability in ...
