Understanding Faults: Detecting, Dating, and Modeling offers a single resource for analyzing faults for a variety of applications, from hazard detection and earthquake processes, to geophysical exploration. The book presents the latest research, including fault dating using new mineral growth, fault reactivation, and fault modeling, and also helps bridge the gap between geologists and geophysicists working across fault-related disciplines. Using diagrams, formulae, and worldwide case studies to illustrate concepts, the book provides geoscientists and industry experts in oil and gas with a valuable reference for detecting, modeling, analyzing and dating faults.

Über Autor(innen)

Brandes, Christian
Christian Brandes is a researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Geology at the University of Hannover. His research interests include interaction of tectonics and sedimentation, geodynamics of island-arcs, burial history and temperature evolution of sedimentary basins, paleoseismology, and evolution of fold-and-thrust belts. He lectures on tectonics, modeling, Earth history, mapping, and regional geology.

Tanner, David
David Colin Tanner is a researcher at the LIAG Institute for Applied Geophysics, where his research focuses on structural modeling and seismic interpretation. He has given lectures on 3D geological modelling and tectonics at many universities. His interests lie in understanding the geological processes in the Earth's crust, especially faults and their geological history.
