Synopsis

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.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

Stephen M. Rowland is a Professor of Geology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. He began teaching a structural geology laboratory course as a PhD student at the University of California, Santa Cruz. The Bree Creek map and the core exercises in this book evolved from field exercises in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California.

Ernest M. Duebendorfer is a Professor of Geology at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. His research focuses on Proterozoic accretionary tectonics and Cenozoic extensional tectonism in the western US. He has also published papers on contractional deformation in Antarctica, Australia, and California. He received his PhD from the University of Wyoming.

Ilsa M. Schiefelbein is a Senior Geologist currently employed by ExxonMobil Corporation in Houston, Texas. She received an MS at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where she studied extensional tectonics in the Basin and Range Province and taught structural geology laboratories.

Revue de presse

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."
