Part of The Shear Zone Channel. Granites control the development of the World-famous Cornish metal province. This video visits granites near Land's End, to explore their structure, petrogenesis and the underlying tectonics. It's a necessarily complex, multidisciplinary story - one that leads into the sustainable development of some of the critical earth resources we'll need to make the transition to low-carbon societies. But the story has only just begun - there's lots more to find out about the tectonics and mineralisation.
