Description
Designed to be carried in the field, this pocket sized how to book is a practical guide to basic techniques in mapping geological structures. In addition to including the latest computerised developments, the author provides succinct information on drawing cross sections and preparing and presenting fair copy maps and geological diagrams. This book contains a brief chapter on the essentials of report writing and discusses how to keep adequate field notebooks. A checklist of equipment needed in the field can be found in the appendices. Quote from 3rd edition: "provides a wealth of good advice on how to measure, record and write reports of geological field observations" - "The Naturalist".
