- catalog abstract ""This book is an introduction to the quantitative treatment of geological problems. It is originally written as a guide for field geologists who want to quantitatively understand or test their tectonic models, but the book provides a basic introduction to geodynamics for anyone in the earth sciences. The book provides an understanding of the basic concepts of map projections, plate tectonics, heat flow, isostasy, geomorphology, kinematics, stress, strain and rheology. In later chapters, these concepts are integrated to examine a variety of geodynamic problems: Chapter 6 focuses on problems relevant to structural geology; Chapter 7 looks at problems relevant to the field of petrology. In a detailed appendix, a wide range of numerical methods are introduced, such as the finite difference method, Fourier series or the least squares method. Lists of useful mathematical constants, internet addresses and references are also included in the book."--Jacket.".
