Problems and Solutions in Structural Geology and Tectonics, Volume 5

In the series Developments in Structural Geology and Tectonics, this volume presents students, researchers, and practitioners with an all-new set of problems and solutions that structural geologists and tectonics researchers commonly face.

Topics covered include ductile deformation (such as strain analyses), brittle deformation (such as rock fracturing), brittle-ductile deformation, collisional and shortening tectonics, thrust-related exercises, rift and extensional tectonics, strike slip tectonics, and cross-section balancing exercises.

The book provides a how-to guide for students of structural geology and geologists working in the oil, gas, and mining industries.

Provides practical solutions to industry-related issues, such as well bore stability

Allows for self-study and includes background information and explanation of research and industry jargon

Includes full color diagrams to explain 3D issues
