Language: English
Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, and for researchers in structural geology and tectonics, this book investigates geological structures by integrating field mapping and mechanical analysis. The necessary skills to map, describe, model, and explain the deformation of the Earth's lithosphere are provided using MATLAB examples. Topics covered include elastic deformation, brittle behavior, and viscous flow.
MATLAB is introduced and used to solve examples in the book.
