Рассмотрены типы малых структурных форм, их соотношения, способы получения данных о крупных структурах по результатам наблюдений над мелкими структурами. Описаны трещиноватость, кливаж, сланцеватость, будинаж, наложение разновозрастных малых структур и некоторые другие структуры, широко распространенные в метаморфических толщах. Дается понятие о симметрии структур и принципах ее использования при геологических исследованиях.
Для геологов, занимающихся картированием различных масштабов, поисками и разведкой месторождений полезных ископаемых; будет полезна студентам геологических специальностей вузов и университетов.

This book is a follow-up to a Geological Society of London conference with the same title, held in urlington House, London, in February 2000. Following the conference it was decided to compile a Special Publication based in part on papers presented at the conference and in part on papers that were added later to form a balanced content. The content of New Insights into Structural Interpretation and Modelling presents a balanced overview of what the title promises. It is intended as a book that will serve the experienced professional as well as more advanced students in Earth sciences with a wide range of topics described in high quality publications. Some chapters are by leaders in the field, other chapters are written by young authors with fresh ideas.

Faults and their deeper-level equivalents, shear zones are localized regions of higher strain which effectively accommodate differential movement in the Earth's crust and mantle during deformation of the lithosphere. Shear zones may be more precisely defined as approximately tabular regions of concentrated deformation and flow across which adjacent relatively undeformed rock units are offset.

Таблицы трехзначных (0,000—1,000) коэффициентов предназначены для определения истинной, вертикальной, горизонтальной или видимой (в заданном направлении) мощности пласта, находящегося в любых пространственных соотношениях с линией исходного замера. Прилагаются номограммы для вычисления мощностей в полевых условиях и определения углов падения пласта пли наклона скважины в косом сечение (плоскости разреза). Описаны способы и примеры пользования таблицами и номограммами.
Книга предназначена для широкого круга специалистов.

Доклады советских геологов охватывают широкий круг вопросов. Здесь рассмотрены и общие научные проблемы формирования и разрушения (деструкции) земной коры в ходе геологической истории (В.Е.Хаин, Е.Е.Милановский, В.В.Белоусов, М.В.Муратов и др.), и отдельные, принципиального значения, теоретические вопросы тектоники (С.В. Руженцев, А.А. Белов, Н.Л. Добрецов, В.Н. Пучков, А.Л.Яншин и др.), и наиболее важные проблемы связи полезных ископаемых с тектоникой (Ю.М. Пущаровский, С.Н. Иванов, Н.А.Шило и др.); некоторое освещение получили также вопросы тектоники океанов (А.В. Пейве, Л.И.Красный и др.).

Описаны структурные формы земной коры, их морфология, происхождение и изображение. Приведены сведения об истории структурной геологии и ее основных методах.
Учебник предназначен для студентов специальностей 080500 — «Геология нефти и газа», 080400 - «Геофизические методы поисков и разведки месторождений полезных ископаемых» и 080900 — «Геофизические методы исследования скважин», а также направления 663200 — поиски и разведка месторождений полезных ископаемых.

The stereographic projection is an essential tool of geologists and civil engineers which allows threedimensional orientation data to be both represented and manipulated. It provides a way of graphically displaying the data collected which is essential for the recognition and interpretation of patterns of preferred orientation. It allows also the data to be processed, rotated and analysed by means of a number of standard geometrical constructions. The latter can be rapidly carried out using computer software but the stereographic method has the advantage that the constructions can be visually appreciated and shown graphically.

This book is designed primarily for university and college students taking geology as an honours course or as a subsidiary subject. Its aim is to lead the student by easy stages from the simplest ideas on geological structures right through the first year course on geological mapping, and much that it contains should be of use to students of geology at GeE 'A' level. The approach is designed to help the student working with little or no supervision: each new topic is simply explained and illustrated by text-figures, and exercises are set on succeeding problem maps.

The elementary student of geology may well first encounter the basic elements of structural geology through the study and interpretation of geological maps. However, there are few if any textbooks on structural geology which concentrate on showing how the forms of geological structures can be determined from the evidence presented by a geological map, even although such an analysis is fundamental to their interpretation. Admittedly, there are several laboratory manuals on the British market which offer a very elementary introduction to the basic methods used in the interpretation of geological maps.

Documentation of structures in different scales is the first step in many structural geological studies. This edited atlas gives an overview of diverse structures. Due to lack of space or inappropriateness, sometimes interesting structural snaps cannot be published in journals. This book fills that gap.
