Structural Geology Principles, Concepts, and Problems

Appropriate for junior-senior level structural geology courses. This state-of-the-art text offers students balanced coverage of the full range of topics, supported by a wealth of outstanding illustrations and photographs. The text opens with an overview of basic geologic principles that paves the way for a better understanding of structural geology. The topics of stress and strain, deformation mechanisms, and strain measurement provide a foundation upon which the text's remaining coverage is built. Self-contained chapters meet instructor's individual needs. A brief introduction to geophysical techniques, principally seismic reflection and refraction, Earth magnetism, and gravity, enhances a better understanding of crustal structures. This latest edition has been revised for greater clarity and to incorporate the most current technical information possible. A laboratory manual (by Robert Hatcher and Robert J. Hooper) is also available.Hatcher, Robert D. is the author of 'Structural Geology Principles, Concepts, and Problems', published 1994 under ISBN 9780023557132 and ISBN 0023557133.
