书籍简介

本书由挪威构造地质学家Haakon fossen所编写，内容通俗易懂，是构造地质学的经典教材。

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.

• The second edition of this hugely popular textbook, updated in response to instructor and student feedback, includes an entirely new chapter on joints and veins, as well as updates and new examples throughout the whole book

• Supported by carefully designed full-colour illustrations, the book features numerous new photos, including an increased number of images from the USA and Brazil

• Updated e-learning modules, available for most chapters, reinforce key concepts using summaries, innovative animations to bring concepts to life, and additional figures

• Additional web resources include extra problems and solutions, PowerPoint slides of illustrations, and links to other online structural geology resources (including free software)

作者简介

Haakon fossen教授是挪威奥斯陆大学构造地质学专家，在国际享受崇高的威望，发表多篇国际著名文章，其在变形带带、盐构造、显微构造、盆地分析等领域成就颇丰，同时乐于招收各国喜爱构造地质学的学生，进行国际交流。

Haakon Fossen, Universitetet i Bergen, Norway

Haakon Fossen is Professor of Structural Geology at the University of Bergen, Norway, where he is affiliated with the Department of Earth Science and the Natural History Collections. His professional career has involved work as an exploration and production geologist/geophysicist for Statoil and as a Professor at the University of Bergen (1996 to present), in addition to periods of geologic mapping and mineral exploration in Norway. His research ranges from hard to soft rocks and includes studies of folds, shear zones, formation and collapse of orogenic belts, numerical modelling of deformation (transpression), the evolution of rifts, and studies of deformed porous sandstones. He has conducted extensive field work in various parts of the world, notably Norway, the Western United States, Sinai, and Brazil, and his research is based on field mapping, microscopy, physical and numerical modelling, geochronology, and seismic interpretation. Professor Fossen has been involved in editing several international geology journals, has authored over 100 scientific publications, and has written two other books and several book chapters. He holds the first Nordic Geoscientist Award and the Outstanding Paper Award (together with Basil Tikoff) of the Structural Geology and Tectonics Division of the Geological Society of America, of which he is also a Fellow. He has taught undergraduate structural geology courses and graduate and industry structural geology field courses for over twenty years and has a keen interest in developing electronic teaching resources to aid student visualization and understanding of geological structures.
