The Royal GeographicalSociety of Queensland Ltd
Map Group Presentation
Presenter: Neil Simson, RGSQ Member
Neil is a former Town Planner, now retired and has over 50 years orienteering experience. He has lived and breathed maps for most of his life. He can spot topographic anomalies very quickly and use maps to navigate in complex terrain. Terrain that is different also means that the formation process has changed. Sometimes that is due to changes in rock types, sometimes fractures and sometimes something external.
His research is an investigation into the ring structures at the Mt Moffatt Section of Carnarvon National Park to determine which are likely to be impact structures. The initial desktop analysis used existing mapping resources to identify locations for investigation by applying geomorphological principles to identify anomalous features. These have then been inspected in the field by looking for features consistent with an impact origin. This has resulted in the identification of a high probability impact site where specimen collection and analysis is required.
