This book presents numerical, analytical and analogue models in structural geology and tectonics. The book includes the latest research results and new topics which are not covered in many geoscience textbooks. This book serves as a good additional reading material.

Structural geology and tectonics have become model-based, by and large, in the last 20 years or so. These models have been analytical, numerical, analogue and computer/software-based. Numerical and analogue models are performed to explain deformation at micro-, meso- and mega-scales. Fuel and mining industries have strong requirements for such models. Geometries and geneses of folds, fractures and faults and (multi-phase) fluid flow during deformation are of enormous practical values. Additionally, influence of rock structures in engineering geological problems has far reaching implications.

This book is a valuable resource for researchers and industry experts working on structural geology and tectonics. It also fills a gap between textbooks and high-level research papers.
