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.
