Hopson, Peter M.. 2009 The geological setting of the coastal fringes of west Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. In: Briant, R.M., (ed.) The Quaternary of the Solent Basin and West Sussex raised beaches. Quaternary Research Association, 1-20.

Abstract
This guide covers a significant part of southern Hampshire, a part of West Sussex and the Isle of Wight. The region is founded on Cretaceous and Palaeogene bedrock, the younger forming the final phase of sedimentation of the Hampshire Basin. The bedrock is covered by a thick and extensive succession of Quaternary superficial deposits subdivided into a number of units that represent a long Quaternary history as the landscape was denuded through numerous periglacial/ temperate climatic cycles.
