| Title | Shackleton, Robert Millner: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Well-known for his contributions to the study of crystalline rocks, more particularly of rock deformation and large scale tectonics. A versatile pioneer in investigation of the Caledonides of Wales and Western Ireland, of Rift Valley vulcanicity and PreCambrian tectonics. His papers and discussions have influenced much recent work in these fields in which he has trained many of the younger British workers.
Of particular importance have been his work on Tertiary volcanics in Kenya, his understanding of the PreCambrian of eastern and central Africa and his accounts of Dalradian structures and deposits. |
