Gebundenes Buch

Principles of Rock Deformation and Tectonics

Beschreibung

The book is an up-to-date and augmented version that keeps the concise and rigorous writing of its inspiring French language predecessors. It is based on laboratory and field experience of both authors, with a focus towards hard rocks and magmatic rocks from both the continental crust worldwide and the mantle, principally from the Oman ophiolites.

He was awarded the Louis Barrabé Medal at the French Geological Society. Professor Adolphe Nicolas (1936-2020) After his academic studies at University of Paris in Physics and Earth Sciences, he became assistant professor at the School of Mines in Nancy (France), then professor, first at the University of Nantes, up to 1986, where he set up his Petrophysics Laboratory, which then moved to Montpellier University. He was a specialist of peridotites and ophiolites, particularly from Oman. Adolphe Nicolas wrote several books, among which "Principes de Tectonique" (1984), and was awarded several distinctions: Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU); Veinig Meinez Medalist; Member of The Institut Universitaire de France; Dolomieu Award of the French Academy of Sciences; Harry Hess Medal of the AGU.
