Abstract An integrated resource that describes how faults are detected, what fault models predict, and current theories of fault development. 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 helps bridge the gap between geologists and geophysicists working across fault-related disciplines. Using diagrams, formulae, and worldwide case studies to illustrate concepts, Understanding Faults provides geoscientists and industry experts in oil and gas with a valuable reference for detecting, modeling, analyzing, and dating faults. - from book cover.
