Synopsis
Regional Geology and Tectonics: Principles of Geologic Analysis, Second Edition, is the first in a three-volume series covering Phanerozoic regional geology and tectonics. The new edition provides updates to the detailed overview of geologic rift systems, passive margins, and cratonic basins from the first edition and includes new sections on plate tectonics processes, petroleum systems, and new methods of geological analysis and modeling. Regional Geology and Tectonics: Principles of Geologic Analysis provides both researchers and practitioners with the basic principles necessary to grasp the conceptual approaches to hydrocarbon exploration in a broad range of geological settings globally.
- The principles of regional geological analysis and the main geological and geophysical tools are discussed in detail
- The tectonics of the world are captured and identified in detail through a series of unique geographic maps, allowing quick access to exact tectonic locations
- Serves as the ideal introductory overview and complementary reference to the core concepts of regional geology and tectonics offered in volumes two and three in the series
