Cambridge University Press - Structural Geology Haakon Fossen Frontmatter More information Structural Geology Lavishly illustrated in color, this textbook takes an applied approach to introduce undergraduate students to the basic principles of structural geology.
The book provides unique links to industry applications in the upper crust, including petroleum and groundwater geology, which highlight the importance of structural geology in exploration and exploitation of petroleum and water resources.
Topics range from faults and fractures forming near the surface to shear zones and folds of the deep crust. Students are engaged through examples and parallels drawn from practical everyday situations, enabling them to connect theory with practice. Containing numerous end-of-chapter problems, e-learning modules, and with stunning field photos and illustrations, this book provides the ultimate learning experience for all students of structural geology.
His research ranges from hard to soft rocks and includes studies of folds, shear zones, formation and collapse of the Caledonian Orogen, numerical modeling of deformation transpression , the evolution of the North Sea rift, and studies of deformed sandstones in the western United States.
Professor Fossen has been involved in editing several international geology journals, has authored over 90 scientific publications, and has written two books and several book chapters. He has taught undergraduate structural geology courses for over ten years and has a keen interest in developing electronic teaching resources to aid student visualization and understanding of geologic structures.

Keadran rated it really liked it Feb 03, Chapter 12 Foliation and cleavage. Most fosseh customer reviews on Amazon. They have a different vocabulary, a different alphabet, but you learn how to read them.
Contains a bunch of pictures, and the book is in color, contain a topic for restoration, something that is not really common on Structural Geology books, I love it for this. If you want fssen students to start understanding theoretical and applied structural geology, this book is very effective and recommended for teaching both theoretical and practical structural geology, I have recommended it to my students and colleagues. I rented this book and received a copy with pages falling out. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read.

Chapter 3 Strain in rocks. Visit our Help Sfructural. Read more Read less. Artorias rated it it was amazing Sep 13, Simple Excel files that helps calculating strain parameters for simple shear, subsimple shear, and pure shear are posted here. Appendix B Stereographic projection. Students are engaged through examples and parallels drawn from practical everyday situations, enabling them to connect theory with practice.
Page 1 of 1 Start over Page 1 of 1. There is a good balance between text and figures, and the figures are very good, be it the photos, maps, graphics or principle sketches. Tito Aureliano rated it liked it Jan 15, Structual you like to tell strudtural about a lower price?
