Description
Basic and Advanced Map Interpretation for Structural Geologists, First Edition provides a highly visual manual with many maps and solutions. Covering rotational faults, listric faults, superposed folds, and other advanced geological formations, along with multicomponent formations that are the most difficult to interpret, this book guides those who use maps to see two-dimensional geological features in a three-dimensional space. It includes 21st century mapping capabilities such as LIDAR to provide problems and solutions for interpreting a variety of maps that are available but need specific skills to interpret. This will be a valuable resource for any students, academics, researchers or professionals who work with complex level maps that will help them understand how to interpret a variety of structural formations and especially multicomponent formations.
