Geol.845 MESOSCOPIC STRUCTURES (2 C.H)
Uses of mesoscopic structure in strain analysis, interpretation of regional structures and kinemtic analysis of complex areas, fold geometry and measurement of fold elements, techniques of data collection, plotting and interpretation, specialized techniques of data plotting and interpreting the stress orientation, sense of slip and tectonic significance of faulted, sheared and jointed terrains, metamorphic structures as indicators of deformational patterns of complexly deformed regions.
