This multifaceted study explores new directions for plate
tectonic research, especially as a guide for future geodynamic
modelling of the earth. In particular, it equips readers with a
plate-tectonic toolbox (with derivations and ANSI-C code) for
applications and reconstruction analysis, including new continuous
calculation methods. Pilger's Geokinematics shows how to apply
these tools to Late Mesozoic and Cenozoic kinematics, with a focus
on hotspot reference frames, and for empirical analysis of
continental stress histories, including fractured hydrocarbon
reservoirs. Supported by solid arguments and data, the book
integrates theoretical developments of expanded plate kinematic
theory and an ensemble of critical observations into a grand model,
with the new concept of mesoplates playing a key role.

Written by an accomplished tectonics researcher and software developer, this graduate- and research-level monograph will interest academics as well as applied geoscientists, e.g. petroleum geologists.
