Thrust Tectonics And Hydrocarbon Systems

This book brings together the key papers from the recent Thrust Tectonics Conference held at Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, University of London, and is grouped into thematic sections. It covers the most recent multidisciplinary research and theories in a clear, concise manner. Topics covered include theory and mechanics of thrust faulting, numerical modelling, analogue modelling, geometrics of thrust systems and thrust related folding, and field based studies of the Pyrenees, the Alps, the Himalayas and the NW American Cordillera.
