Deformation Structures and Processes within the Continental Crust
This volume presents a selection of papers showing the current focus of studies of deformation structures and processes within the continental crust. The selected contributions use a large range of analytical techniques suited to the full range of structure sizes and fine-tuned to the physical process that controls the deformation, from the grain boundary at the micro-scale, the lithological contact at the meso-scale to the plate boundary at the global scale. The papers in the volume are grouped into three sections relating to specific lines of research within the analysis of rock deformation structures and processes, in particular in respect to the continental crust: structures within shear zones and faults; magmatic structures, and microstructures and rheology. These sections include papers describing field studies, experimental rock deformation and numerical modelling of deformation processes.
And Watch the Whale Explode
When a whale washes up on the shore of a beach only one thing is certain: it must explode. Sometimes a bystander, anticipating the inevitable, pokes the stranded creature. Its swollen skin rips, and it is done. Our world can feel like the brimming belly of a beached whale. Pressure builds. An indeterminate force compels us to take an explosive action. A beautiful thing erupts, against its will, even when it makes little to no sense. Inside the whale, a girl takes a pair of shears to a black-dashed line on her skin; a woman tries to stem the flow of snake venom in the blood of a man who is already dead; an epileptic wears a crash helmet ’round the clock; a man with only one good arm cuts it off with a chainsaw—but how? After every explosion, a throng of people wander through the ruin along the beach, absorbing its resonance. Introduced by celebrated Australian essayist, poet and critic, Fiona Wright, And Watch the Whale Explode is the 31st edition of the UTS Writers’ Anthology.

This edition is honoured to be introduced by writer, editor and activist Bri Lee, the award-winning author of Eggshell Skull. The smoky sky is empty: a deficit of light and sound, devoid of sentience…or is it? Our world is tumultuous – from political upheaval to environmental decay, the Earth is in the process of shifting and reforming. Technology surrounds us, encroaching.
