Regional Geology and Tectonics: Principles of Geologic Analysis: Volume 1: Principles of Geologic Analysis

Regional Geology and Tectonics: Second Edition, Principles of Geologic Analysis, Volume One 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. This book 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.

• Provides the principles of regional geological analysis and the main geological and geophysical tools
• Presents the tectonics of the world through a series of unique geographic maps, allowing quick access to exact tectonic location
• 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
