New Insights into Structural Interpretation and Modelling (Geological Society Special Publication No. 212)

Description

This title has arisen from the Geological Society of London conference of the same name. Since the publication of the predecessor of this book (Modern insights into structural interpretation, validation and modelling, SP99, 1996, edited by Buchanan & Nieuwland) much progress has been made. This has been primarily thanks to the continuously increasing computing speed and computer memory capacity, which has positively affected all fields in structural interpretation, seismics and modelling, directly or indirectly. New insights in 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 broad selection of topics ranging from classical field based studies to state of the art analogue and numerical modelling. The leaders of their fields have written some of the chapters, whereas younger authors with a fresh outlook and new ideas have written other chapters.
