Résumé

This widely used, highly readable introduction to structural analysis is specifically designed to support the laboratory work of undergraduates in structural geology courses.

A geologic map from a mythical site, the Bree Creek Quadrangle, is used throughout to help students analyze various aspects of geologic structures and ultimately to combine these analyzes into a grand synthesis.
This third edition includes new and amended exercises, redrafted figures to improve clarity, and a single fold-out sheet showing the map of the Bree Creek Quadrangle.
