Tackling structural geology problems today requires a quantitative


understanding of the underlying physical principles, and the ability to
apply mathematical models to deformation processes within the Earth.
Accessible yet rigorous, this unique textbook demonstrates how to
approach structural geology quantitatively using calculus and
mechanics, and prepares students to interface with professional
geophysicists and engineers who appreciate and utilize the same tools
and computational methods to solve multidisciplinary problems. Clearly
explained methods are used throughout the book to quantify field Find out more
data, set up mathematical models for the formation of structures, and
compare model results to field observations. An extensive online package of coordinated
laboratory exercises enables students to consolidate their learning and put it into practice by
analyzing structural data and building insightful models. Designed for single-semester
undergraduate courses, this pioneering text prepares students for graduates studies and careers
as professional geoscientists.

Key features
Presents a rigorous quantitative approach to structural geology balanced with description and
geological examples from the field
Complemented by a website hosting a wealth of supplementary teaching resources, including
a lab manual of practical activities and computational MATLAB exercises that help develop
programming skills
Illustrated throughout in full color, with electronic figures available to instructors and
MATLAB® scripts for solving problems and recreating model plots, and worked problems that
offer examples of how to address questions in structural geology
Assumes one year each of college-level physics and calculus
