Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

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."
