Atlas of Structural Geology features a broad and inclusive range of high-quality meso- and micro-scale full-color photographs, descriptions, and captions related to the deformation of rocks and geologic structures.
It is a multi-contributed, comprehensive reference that includes submissions from many of the world’s leading structural geologists, making it the most thorough and comprehensive reference available to the scientific community.
The book comprehensively covers various types of geological structures, encompassing those linked to both ductile and brittle shear zones.
This includes sigma- and delta-structures, mineral fish, duplexes and trapezoids, shear-related folds, as well as flanking structures present at both meso- and micro-scales. A stunning collection of the world’s most beautiful and arresting geologic structures, the Atlas of Structural Geology is the ideal aid in the retention of key concepts in geology.
Description
The Atlas of Structural Geology is enriched by the contribution of over 250 top-quality, full-color photographs provided by the world’s most respected experts in structural geology. These images showcase a wide spectrum of morphological variations within geologic structures, culminating in the book serving as the foremost, current, and all-encompassing reference within its domain. Furthermore, the book’s editorial direction is led by a structural geologist boasting 14 years of experience in relevant research and instructional capacities.
Aids researchers in developing mathematical and analogue models on the peculiarity and uniqueness of the world’s most iconic structures
