Photographs of structures are set alongside their representations on maps. The maps used in exercises have been chosen to provide all of the realism of a survey map without the huge amount of data present so that readers can develop skills without becoming overwhelmed or confused. In particular, emphasis is placed throughout on developing the skill of three-dimensional visualization that is important to the geologist. Thoroughly revised, and with more international examples, it is ideal for use by students and practicing geologists.
- Includes rich illustrations of geological structures and integrates them using patterns on geological maps
- Offers step-by-step methods for constructing geological cross sections
- Trains students on the skills essential for the successful interpretation of patterns and relationships depicted on geological maps
Geologists, geophysicists, exploration geologists; and students in mapping and engineering geology courses
