The widespread disruption to air traffic due to the ash cloud from Iceland delayed Nigel Mountney’s and Ian Kane’s return from AAPG in New Orleans. The pair made the most of the disruption by undertaking fieldwork in Utah.
The widespread disruption to
air traffic due to the ash cloud associated with a major volcanic eruption in Iceland delayed Nigel Mountney’s and Ian Kane’s
return from AAPG in New Orleans.
The pair made the most of the disruption by undertaking fieldwork in southeast
Utah as part of an ongoing FRG project to investigate the role of salt wall
growth as a control on the style of fluvial sedimentation in the Triassic
Moenkopi Formation, an outcrop analogue for parts of the Triassic of the
Central North Sea.
