Administrative History | In 1946, reflecting his own interests and area of expertise, H H Read sent the undergraduate Watson to study the migmatites of Sutherland on the west coast of Scotland. The research—in which she suggested that the development of the mineral sillimanite that was abundant in the area, had no direct connection to the conditions of regional metamorphism, but was instead due to later hydrothermal alteration—resulted in Watson’s first published paper “Late Sillimanite in the migmatites of Kildonan, Sutherland” (1948). |
