This is the first book to deal specifically with the procedures
used in the analysis of structural relationships and the
determination of structural successions in complexly deformed rocks
such as migmatites and gneisses. The establishment of structural
successions enables: The rigorous control of the dating of specific
events in the deformational history by constraining the sites of
the dated rocks within the structural succession; The establishment
of the time span of orogenic events throughout the structural
succession, and the rate of orogenic processes;Their comparison to
be used as a basis for correlation between dismembered and
separated crustal segments in continental reconstructions;The
resolution of the complex relationships between deformed ore bodies
and host rocks in high grade terranes, and hence determination of
the structural control of ore bodies, an essential part of any
successful geological exploration, and a precondition to efficient
exploitation. With its new approach, and the use of practical field
examples from various parts of the world, this highly illustrated
work will form an invaluable reference resource for postgraduates,
lecturers and researchers in the structural and isotope geology of
high-grade metamorphic terranes, as well as for exploration and
survey geologists working in the field. Dr Alaric M. Hopgood who
holds an Honorary Readership at the University of St Andrews,
Scotland, was a Reader in the Department of Geology there until
1995.
