Deformation mechanisms, rheology and tectonics: Microstructures, mechanics and anisotropy / Механизм деформации, реология и тектоника: Микроструктуры, механика и анизотропия

Martin Casey, who died on the 10 June 2008 after a short illness, was a structural geologist of world renown. He led numerical approaches to understanding rock deformation and the development of tectonic structures, pioneering the quantitative analysis of rock fabrics, textures and folds. These researches now underpin diverse areas of geology, such as quantifying the strength of rocks in the crust which leads to calibrations of the seismic properties of the minerals in continents and the prediction of the fine-scale structure of hydrocarbon reservoirs. This Special Publication is dedicated to his memory not only for his fundamental contribution to science but also as a mentor, colleague and friend. <...>
