Structural Geology: Fundamentals and Modern Developments - S.K. Ghosh

This manual provides a comprehensive and current overview of the fundamental aspects of structural geology, highlighting classical concepts and modern developments. It includes a detailed account of geometrical analysis techniques, offering a solid background in the principles of geological deformation and an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms of geological structure formation.

Several new features are covered, such as detailed discussions on the rotation of rigid inclusions and passive markers, boudinage (including chocolate tablet boudins, foliation boudins, and shear fracture boudins), structural implications of basement-cover relations, and the time-relation between crystallization and deformation. The book presents methods of structural analysis from microscopic to map scale, describes modern techniques used in the field and laboratory, and offers a balanced picture of modern structural geology emerging from combined field, experimental, and theoretical studies.

The hardback edition (0 080 41879 1) is also available for £50.00.
