Structural Geology de Haakon Fossen

Structural Geology

Autor Haakon Fossen
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 29 feb 2016

În cadrul curriculumului de geologie, studiul structurilor scoarței terestre reprezintă coloana vertebrală a înțelegerii proceselor tectonice, iar ediția a doua a lucrării Structural Geology se impune ca resursă fundamentală. Subliniem că această ediție nu este doar o revizuire, ci o recalibrare a materialului didactic bazată pe feedback-ul utilizatorilor, introducând capitole noi esențiale, precum cel dedicat articulațiilor și venelor, cruciale în hidrogeologie și geologia petrolului. Remarcăm progresia logică a conținutului, care începe cu fundamentele analizei structurale și mecanica deformației (stres și deformare), avansând spre structuri specifice precum faliile, cutele și zonele de forfecare, pentru a culmina cu sisteme tectonice complexe și tehnici de restaurare a secțiunilor geologice. Comparabil cu Foundation of Structural Geology de Professor R G Park în ceea ce privește rigoarea academică, volumul lui Haakon Fossen se diferențiază prin actualizarea masivă a iconografiei — peste 550 de ilustrații color și fotografii de teren — și prin integrarea resurselor digitale care animă procesele dinamice. Dacă în lucrarea sa anterioară, Plate Tectonics, autorul oferea o perspectivă globală asupra dinamicii planetare, aici focalizarea se mută pe mecanica fină a rocilor și pe aplicațiile economice ale disciplinei. Stilul este precis, orientat spre practică, transformând teoria abstractă în instrumente de lucru pentru explorarea resurselor naturale.

Despre autor

Haakon Fossen este profesor de geologie structurală la Universitatea din Bergen, Norvegia, și cercetător afiliat Departamentului de Științe ale Pământului. Cariera sa îmbină expertiza academică cu o vastă experiență industrială, activând ca geolog și geofizician de explorare pentru Statoil. Cercetările sale acoperă o gamă largă, de la modelarea numerică a deformațiilor la studiul centurilor orogenice și tectonica sării. Această dublă perspectivă, teoretică și aplicată, se reflectă în claritatea și relevanța practică a manualelor sale, fiind recunoscut la nivel internațional pentru capacitatea de a sintetiza fenomene geologice complexe.

Descriere scurtă

This market-leading textbook has been fully updated in response to extensive user feedback. It includes a new chapter on joints and veins, additional examples from around the world, stunning new field photos, and extended online resources with new animations and exercises. The book's practical emphasis, hugely popular in the first edition, features applications in the upper crust, including petroleum and groundwater geology, highlighting the importance of structural geology in exploration and exploitation of petroleum and water resources. Carefully designed full-colour illustrations work closely with the text to support student learning, and are supplemented with high-quality photos from around the world. Examples and parallels drawn from practical everyday situations engage students, and end-of chapter review questions help them to check their understanding. Updated e-learning modules are available online (www.cambridge.org/fossen2e) and further reinforce key topics using summaries, innovative animations to bring concepts to life, and additional examples and figures.

Recenzii

'This new edition of Structural Geology has filled in a few gaps in the excellent first edition and the author and publishers are to be congratulated on their efforts to produce a really up-to-date text in a most attractive format.' John Ramsay, ETH Zentrum, Switzerland
'This second edition has an impressive number of updates and improvements. Numerous color photographs and figures clearly illustrate concepts, while showing the inherent beauty of structures in the field. This is a book that cannot help but inspire students.' Frederick W. Vollmer, State University of New York, New Paltz
