This book is a systematic guide to the recognition and
interpretation of deformation microstructures and mechanisms in
minerals and rocks at the scale of a thin section. Diagnostic
features of microstructures and mechanisms are emphasized, and the
subject is extensively illustrated with high-quality color and
black and white photomicrographs, and many clear diagrams. After
introducing three main classes of deformation microstructures and
mechanisms, low- to high-grade deformation is presented in a
logical sequence in Chapters 2 to 5. Magmatic/submagmatic
deformation, shear sense indicators, and shock microstructures and
metamorphism are described in Chapters 6 to 8, which are innovative
chapters in a structural geology textbook. The final chapter shows
how deformation microstructures and mechanisms can be used
quantitatively to understand the behavior of the earth. Recent
experimental research on failure criteria, frictional sliding laws,
and flow laws is summarized in tables, and palaeopiezometry is
discussed. Audience: This book is essential to all practising
structural and tectonic geologists who use thin sections, and is an
invaluable research tool for advanced undergraduates,
postgraduates, lecturers and researchers in structural geology and
tectonics.
