STRUCTURAL GEOLOGY

Structural geology is a subfield within geology which focuses on the study of geological structures, with the goal of learning how, when, and why they formed. It can take place in the field, with geologists making site visits to examine formations of interest personally, and in the lab. The primary goal of structural geology is to use measurements of present-day rock geometries to uncover information about the history of deformation in the rocks. This book provides unique links to industry applications in the upper crust, including petroleum and groundwater geology, which highlight the importance of structural geology in exploration of petroleum and water resources.
