Geologic Maps: A Practical Guide to the Interpretations
and Preparation of Geologic Maps This text provides
practical help in field and structural geography for preparin/ interpreting
geologic and structural maps. It is designed to help readers who have
no previous training in map interpretation. |

Basic Geological Mapping
Designed to be carried in the field, this how-to book is a practical guide to basic techniques in mapping geological structures. The author provides succinct information on drawing cross-sections and preparing and presenting 'fair copy' maps and geological diagrams. Contains a brief chapter on the essentials of report writing and discusses how to keep adequate field notebooks. A checklist of equipment needed in the field can be found in the appendices. |

Introduction to Geological Structures and Maps A
text that leads the student by easy stages from simple ideas on geological
structures through to degree standard on geological mapping. It is designed
to help students working with little or no supervision; each new topic
is explained and illustrated by figures, and exercises are set on succeeding
maps. This enlarged sixth edition has been revised and updated. It includes
more problems, and the maps and figures have been redrawn throughout.
A new chapter on planetary geology can be used to interpret geological
information being obtained from elsewhere in the solar system |

Geological Structures and Maps: A Practical Guide
This highly illustrated student guide introduces the skills of interpreting a geological map and relating it to the morphology of important types of geological structure. Thoroughly revised, and with more international examples, it should be suitable for use by students as a self-study textbook. |

The Mapping of Geological Structures
This practical guide makes field work vastly more rewarding
by showing how to describe, measure, and record rock structures firsthand.
Text offers the guidance necessary to perform detailed mapping and analysis
of structural features which yields a 3-D geological map. It is then possible
to assess the stresses (dynamics) and movement patterns (kinematics) which
rocks have undergone, and to evaluate the processes by which they were
formed. Emphasis is on accuracy, detail, and interpretation. Chapters
cover mapping techniques, fold structures, foliations, linear structures,
faults, joints, veins, stylolites, polyphase deformation, and interpretation
and analysis. Includes tables of field procedures for all major structural
elements. Appendixes cover real and apparent dip, thickness and exaggeration,
and strain measurements. |

Geological Maps: An Introduction This book
introduces geological maps and mapping in a clear and practical way. Packed
with 3-dimensional diagrams, color maps, and examples from real maps and
real situations around the world, this completely updated edition reflects
the growing emphasis on environmental matters and the increasing application
of geological maps for urban and rural planning. Each of the 15 chapters
concludes with a succinct summary. |
