Aspects of Tectonic Faulting By W. van der Zee, F.K. Lehner, J.L. UraiPublisher: Sp[ring]er 2000 | 226 Pages | ISBN: 3540657088 | PDF | 6 MBThis book provides an overview of modern approaches to the dynamics of tectonic faulting. The contributions were selected from papers which had been presented at a conference organized on the occasion of Georg Mandl's 70th birthday. The understanding of structural geology and the mechanics of tectonic faulting which was always in the center of his interest was substantially advanced by Mandl's work.Topics covered are: Particle flow modelling, analog modelling techniques, large-scale tectonic models, onset of faulting above evaporites, dynamic triggering of earthquakes, growth of initially segmented fault zones.filepostdepositfiles The Techniques of Modern Structural Geology, Volume 3Academic Press; 3rd edition | October 3, 2000 | ISBN-10: 0125769237 | 1061 pages | PDF | 38.1 MbModern Structural Geology, Volume 3 gives a practical introduction to how mathematical tools (continuum mechanics) can be used to model geological structures (i.e., naturally deformed rocks).It provides a strong emphasis on the application of mathematics to solving real geological problems.This is the third volume of a highly successful textbook series. It sets out in detail many fundamental and modern research techniques, some for the first time.It is richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams of naturally deformed rocks. Very few books in the field contain even a fraction of this illustrative material.Because of the somewhat complex nature of some of the mathematical techniques, computer methods are sometimes needed to formulate solutions to the problems. These programs are fully listed in BASIC language at the end of the relevant Session, and a disk of these programs suitable for MAC and PC hardware is provided.Modern Structural Geology, Volume 3 is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying structural geology; the secondary market are mechanical and civil engineers wanting a working knowledge of earth sciences; mathematicians wanting to develop practical applications of continuum mechanics.* Volumes 1 and 2 are best-sellers and widely adopted* Mathematical modelling programs included on CD-Rom* Exercises at the end of each chapter* Superb photographyUploadingFilesonic "Principles of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy" by Sam Boggsrsn rntice ll | 2006 | ISBN: 0131547283 9780131547285 | 676 pages | PDF/djvu | 45/21 MB A concise treatment of the fundamental principles of sedimentology and stratigraphy, featuring the important physical, chemical, biological and stratigraphic characteristics of sedimentary rocks. Emphasized are the ways in which the study of sedimentary rocks is used to interpret depositional environments, changes in ancient sea level, and other intriguing aspects of Earth history. Topics include the origin and transport of sedimentary materials; physical properties of sedimentary rocks; composition, classification and diagenesis of sedimentary rocks and principles of stratigraphy and basin analysis. For individuals interested in one text providing comprehensive coverage of both sedimentology and stratigraphy.Contents Preface Introduction PART I Origin and Transport of Sedimentary Materials 1.1 INTRODUCTION 1.2 SUBAERI ALWEATHERING PROCESSES 1.3 SUBMARINE WEATHERING PROCESSES AND PRODUCTS 1.4 SO ILS 1.5 CONCLUDING REMARKS 2 Transport and Deposition ofSiliciclastic Sediment 2.1 INTRODUCTION 2.2 FUNDAMENTA LS OF FLUID FLOW 2.3 PARTICLE TRANSPORT BY FLUIDS 2.4 PARTICLE TRANSPORT BY
