Geology (and other Earth Sciences)

Brief description of the dissertation:
it is a geophysics dissertation. a 3D seismic reflections data set, from Inner Forth Moray, is interpreted using Traptester6 software, to identify examples of fault propagating folds. the amplitudes and the wavelength of the associated folds will be measured and compared to the accumulated frequency distribution of the data set with the appropriate plots for the underlying faults. the hypothesis to be tested is that the sizes of faults propagating folds follows the same accumulate frequency distribution as their associated folds.
dissertation general instructions:
The 10 basic rules:

1. Your text MUST NOT exceed the specified page limit – 50 pages, cover to cover.

2. Your report MUST comply with the format specifications.

3. The text should be in double-line spacing using 12 pt Times New Roman font on A4 paper, justified on BOTH the left and right sides, AND presented on each page in single-column format (the latter as demonstrated by these guidelines). This font size and line spacing applies throughout and includes the reference list. Only figure and table captions may be single-line-spaced and in the smaller 10 pt Times New Roman font if preferred.

4. Leave a margin of 20 mm all round, plus an additional 10 mm at the left-hand margin to allow for binding. Both text and figures should be printed on one side of the paper only (right-hand page when bound).

5. All pages should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals throughout.

6. The report should be spiral bound on the left-hand edge and include a pouch bound inside the back cover to accommodate the Appendices CD.

7. Front and back covers should be made out of light blue card and should include a transparent plastic sheet both front and back. The front cover should have your dissertation title, your name, your degree programme name and the academic year in that order and in 14 pt Times New Roman font each on a separate line one after the other centred on the page.

8. It is essential that all submitted materials do not exceed A4 size, or are folded so as not to exceed A4 size. Any item which you wish to bind into your report that exceeds A4 in size, such as stereographic projections, computer printout, etc., must be folded to slightly less than A4 in size and have a wide (at least 25mm) left-hand margin for binding. Any foldouts should be slightly narrower than A4 when folded to avoid the right-hand folded edge being cut by trimming of the bound report. However, such pages count within the page limit and should also be numbered.

9. For the paper hard copy, all items for submission should be placed in an A4-sized document wallet with your name and your degree programme name clearly written on the top right-hand corner of the flap when orientated in landscape (long-axis left to right not up and down).

10. You MUST keep and submit a lab or field notebook that documents your dissertation project work or mapping fieldwork work as it progresses. This notebook must be submitted with your paper hard copy dissertation.

Finally: a file data would be interpreted by the software traptester6 by me since it is not available for any writer, mega sequences and horizons will be identified, major faults must be identified as well. The displacement on the major faults will be measured along with the amplitudes of the associated folds ‘reverse drags’ to be plotted against each other in order to determine the relationship between them which is expected to follow our hypothesis. If not at all or in some cases and points, branches and spill points must be analysed for any relationship with the affect on the revers drags amplitudes. investigate how splay ‘minor faults’ could influence reverse drag and spill points. Investigation the any other geological factors that could influence this must be investigated. The plots, and the data will be provided by me as soon as I finish them, you can start with the geological background and the introduction until I finish them. For the screen shots needed of the faults and the reverse drags, the spill points and the splays that you need to include, you have to tell me what you need so I can do the screen shots in the software and get it to you. in terms of figures, it is up to you what you use but if you use anythings reference it within the caption and in the reference list. Please be careful about the sources since this is a dissertation: the sources needs to be scientific and most up to date if available. A couple of key papers which is important to be used is provided, another file for how dissertations should be written in general is provided so you can take a quick look at. Please this is a dissertation which equals 2 modules so I don’t want to lose marks so please stick to the instructions so we don’t have to do major changes. And ask whenever you have any questions please
