Sinossi

This is a laboratory manual for undergraduate courses in structural geology and geophysics, designed to be used in conjunction with a structural geology textbook. The emphasis is on geological mapping, through a series of exercises directed toward analyzing the structural form and evolution of a single field area. This approach approximates to the procedures actually used by workers in the field. Tear-out sheets and punched holes enable students to hand in exercises and bind answers.

Recensione

Praise for Rowlands′s Structural Analysis and Synthesis 1e:

"Laboratory exercises using progressively more complicated geologic maps of mythical terrains have been a feature of my introductory structural geology course for years. I was, therefore, quite intrigued by Stephen Rowland′s laboratory manual that takes this strategy a step further by progressively analysing a single geologic terrain...[I] appreciate the manual′s clearly organized and balanced presentation of topics and its exercises that involved the progressive analysis and written synthesis of a single map area. The text has been popular with my students. I would recommend it to any instructor who emphasizes the interpretation of geologic maps in their introductory structural geology course." Journal of Structural Geology

Dalla quarta di copertina

This instructive, engaging, highly readable manual is intended for the laboratory portion of an undergraduate course in structural geology. Guided by students′ and instructors′ suggestions, Dr Stephen Rowland and his new co–author, Dr Ernest Duebendorfer, have refined various exercises for the second edition, and have added discussions of numerous topics, including axial planar foliations and the dip isogon methods of fold classification. There are also three new chapters on: balanced cross sections; deformation mechanisms, fault kinematics and microstructures; and plate tectonics.
