Martin Litherland OBE (born 1945, Woking, England) is a geologist who has travelled and published[1][2] widely.
Life and career
Litherland was born in 1945, the son of a Methodist minister.
In 1970 he was awarded a PhD by Liverpool University on the stratigraphy and structure of the Dalradian rocks around Loch Creran, Scotland,[3][4] which resolved the major stratigraphic puzzle.[5] The rocks also contained early forms of animal life.[6]
He joined the (present) British Geological Survey (BGS). He was seconded to the Botswana Geological Survey (1970–1975). During this time he mapped the Maitengwe-Sebina area of Rhodesian (now Zimbabwe) Craton where a new uniformitarian theory was proposed;[7][8][9] he also mapped the Mamuno-Kalkfontein area of the Ghanzi Ridge.[10] Precambrian life forms were found,[11] and rock engravings were reported.[12]
Litherland was Senior Exploration Geologist for the Eastern Bolivia Mineral Exploration Project (1976–1985), an ODA Technical Cooperation project covering the unexplored Bolivian part of the Brazilian Shield [13][14][15] under difficult conditions.[16] The Lost World of Fawcett/Conan Doyle was also mapped.[17][18] He noted Andean-trending structures[19] and discovered alkaline igneous rocks.[20]
From 1986 to 1992, Litherland was Team Leader of the Cordillera Real Geological Research Project in Ecuador. The Project mapped the eastern Andean cordillera along a series of difficult traverses and discovering many 'un-Andean' geological features.[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]
He was awarded the OBE in 1993.[29]
From 1993 until retirement in 2000, Litherland worked in the Keyworth office of the British Geological Survey. He launched a series of popular geological publications in the form of tourist and fossil guides, books and posters.[30][31][32]
