TSG  LOGO  COMPETITION   

 

We’re currently in the process of updating and modernising the 

Tectonic Studies Group website, and as part of this we think it is

about time we gave the TSG logo an update too! Rather than the

committee coming up with something, we’d like to make this a bit

more interactive with the TSG community, so have decided to run

a TSG logo competition. 

The winning design will be used on the soon to be re-launched

TSG website and Facebook Page (link on the left), and at all

TSG badged events, so it needs to be simple, memorable, and

epitomise structural geology and/or tectonics.

Here's the low-down on the competition:

-  The competition is open to all members of the TSG community 

    (staff and students)

-  Deadline is 23:59 (GMT) on Friday 24^th May 2013

-  Image files should be sent in a digital raster format (e.g. JPEG,

    PNG, PDF), and include a short explanation of the design.

-  Designs should be sent via email to Pedro Galindo 

    ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it )

-  The winning design will be chosen by the committee in early

    June.

-  The competition winner will receive £100 credit to spend at  

    the Geol. Soc. bookshop 

    (http://www.geolsoc.org.uk/en/Publications/Bookshop), 

    as well as having the satisfaction in knowing that their design

    will be used to promote TSG for years to come!

 

FORTHCOMING FIELDTRIPS 

 

TSG will be running two field trips during early Summer 2013

The first trip will be to the NW Highlands of Scotland 2^nd-7^th June, running

in parallel with a GSA trip lead by Rob Butler (University of Aberdeen) and

Rick Law (Virginia Tech). The trip will cover a range of deformation styles

in the deep crust through various forms of mylonites and cataclasites up

to faulting and damage zones in analogue hydrocarbon reservoirs.  Fot

The second trip will be to Shetland, from 24^th – 28^th June. During this trip

we will see structural features formed during brittle and ductile deformations

in a number of lithologies. Key localities include; the Walls Boundary Fault (a

crustal scale strike slip fault on par with the San Andreas fault scale), a cross

section through the Unst- Fetlar ophiolite and the internationally famous Funzie

conglomerate (the basis for classic strain analysis developed by Derek Flinn (1956).
