Maurer paper, Okayama University
MAURER TECTONICS
Bob Maurer's theory about the Rotating Earth and Plate Tectonics has been published in Okayama University's Earth Science Reports in collaboration with Prof. Shigeyuki Suzuki : "A new insight into the driving mechanism for plate tectonics - the relationship between tectonic processes and the circumferential tensile forces associated with a rotating planet."
The paper challenges the current belief that convection currents in the mantle are driving plate tectonics. It provides an alternate, mathematically justified drive mechanism, summarised as the Maurer equation. This shows that the unbalanced rotation of the Earth results in circumferential stresses that are more than strong enough to drive the cyclic breakup and reassembly of the continental plates.

STANMORE GRAVEL PROJECT
We are planning to expose a vertical section in a bank bordering the Harrow Weald geological SSSI. This is an HHGS research project investigating the gravel on Harrow Weald Common, more details here.

Uxbridge Rock Show! 5 - 22 February 2024
Our annual event attracted more visitors than ever this year and we expanded our provision for local schools to visit.
