Fieldtrip to Hopeman - Moray
Departure from the University of Aberdeen - 9am
Estimated return to the University of Aberdeen - 5pm
The field trip visits Permo-Triassic aeolian sandstones that crop out on the Moray Coast. These are onshore analogues for potential sub-surface CO2 storage sites in the offshore. The fieldtrip provides opportunity to discuss many aspects of geological storage including injectivity, storage reservoir compartmentalisation and fault seal; whilst looking across the Inner Moray Firth and enjoying Scotland’s spectacular Moray Coast.
Excellent sedimentary structures can be seen along the coast at Burghead and Cummingston. The sandstones are also cut by spectacular deformation bands and show evidence of fluid rock interaction and reduction of porosity through cementation. At Clashach Cove just to the East of Hopeman the Clashach fault and associated deformation bands are seen in cross-section.
The locality is one of the UKs 100 Great Geosite https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/GeositesClashachMoray
A packed lunch will be provided.
Clothing suitable for a Scottish field trip is required – good shoes/boots, rain jacket and warm clothes, sunscreen and sunglasses (if we’re lucky). Walking distances will be of a few km, on coastal footpaths, beach access etc. The outcrops are tidal with high tide at 12:12. Transport will be by coach to and from Aberdeen.
