Geology of the Faroe-Shetland Basin and adjacent areas
The Faroe–Shetland Regional Geological Report produced jointly by the BGS and Jarðfeingi provides an illustrated descriptive summary of diverse topics of geoscience organised into twelve separate chapters (see contents) within the offshore area to the north and north-west of Scotland, Orkney and She...
