Combines surface and subsurface methods Emphasizes analytical solutions suitable for use with widely vailable computer drafting and spreadsheet programs Contains exercises. A handbook of techniques for interpreting geological structures at the map-scale, and for extracting maximum information from surface and subsurface maps. The map volume uses compatible structure-contour maps and cross sections of all horizons and faults, and is aimed at professional users concerned with both the accuracy and speed of an interpretation obtained from incomplete data. Quantitative methods are emphasized throughout, and numerous analytical solutions are given for easy implementation with a calculator or a spreadsheet. Interpretation strategies are defined for GIS or CAD users, yet are simple enough to be done by hand. Readers will thus be able to produce better geological maps and cross sections, judge the quality of existing maps, and locate and fix mapping errors.

   CONTENIDO: Introduction. Elements of Map-Scale Structure. Location, Attitude, and Thickness. Structure Contouring. Fold Geometry. Faults and Unconformities. Mapping Faults and Faulted Surfaces. Cross Sections. Restoration and Validation
