Publications & Presentations

We have been involved with many exciting geophysical discoveries and regard publication and public presentation of results as a part of most projects we carry out. We have published and presented our results in books, journals, magazines, field guides, websites, on video and in radio and TV programmes. We are keen to collaborate with clients in jointly publishing and presenting the results of commissioned surveys.

Please see the following for a complete list of publications and presentations:
