Rob, thanks for another informative geological excursion. I really appreciate your illuminating commentaries, backed as they are by your lucid field sketches, and the wonderful mapping of Scotland's geology. I hope to get back there one day to experience some more of Scotland's geological delights
I am a metallurgist by training, but have always loved geology. I was wondering whether you ever use differential geometry in your work. David Pollard (Stanford) wrote an article in 2007 on its use for describing 3-D folds; he and Raymond Fletcher (Penn State) devoted a chapter to that use in their 2005 textbook, _Fundamentals of Structural Geology_ . Geometric Algebra (an extension of vector algebra and calculus) offers several advantages as a way of implementing differential geometry. Although the LinkedIn group that is associated with our channel is aimed primarily at pre-university students, our members include many experts who might be interested in collaborating with you.

Thanks - hope you can get back to these outcrops too - they're great.

Geometric Algebra in structural geology is often used by Prof. John Ramsay. For most of us, that is so difficult to understand.
another good vid. maybe get a better microphone for more views and subscribers
indeed - check out this year's films which are generally better....
