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.
- Presents a thorough guide on the interpretation of maps
- Includes difficult maps involving superposed folds, rotational faults, listric faults and multi-component maps
- Presents a self-learning guide of both problems and solutions, with no external instruction required
Students, postgrads and academics in Geology, Geophysics, Exploration and Petroleum Geoscience and Remote Sensing Professionals working in geological engineering and other related disciplines, including those in the oil and gas industry and mining industry
