Regional Geology And Tectonics: Principles Of Geologic Analysis

E-Book Overview

Expert petroleum geologists David Roberts and Albert Bally bring you Regional Geology and Tectonics: Principles of Geologic Analysis, volume one in a three-volume series covering Phanerozoic regional geology and tectonics. It has been written to provide you with a detailed overview of geologic rift systems, passive margins, and cratonic basins, it features the basic principles necessary to grasping the conceptual approaches to hydrocarbon exploration in a broad range of geological settings globally.

• A ''how-to'' regional geology primer that provides a detailed overview of tectonics, rift systems, passive margins, and cratonic basins
• The principles of regional geological analysis and the main geological and geophysical tools are discussed in detail.
• The tectonics of the world are captured and identified in detail through a series of unique geographic maps, allowing quick access to exact tectonic locations.
• 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.
