The Dent Fault — forming the geological boundary between Westmorland and Yorkshire — was mapped out by Adam Sedgwick in the 1820s,
one of the first regional-scale faults to be defined in the UK. In this talk, we look at the life of Adam Sedgwick, and we compare his views on Dent Fault geometry and mechanics with more recent research on the fault zone.

Clive Boulter
We are sad to inform you of the sudden death of Clive Boulter on Saturday 7 January. He had a heart attack while out walking and died the following day in hospital with his family around him. Clive was an expert on Lake District geology who generously shared knowledge and expertise. He guided field trips, gave talks, wrote articles and gave workshops. Many of us will have benefitted from his help and been inspired by his enthusiasm.
The funeral is likely to be in the week commencing 23 January. If you wish to attend please email the Boulter family on Clive’s email address email hidden; JavaScript is required so they have an indication of likely numbers.
