In recent years there have been tremendous strides forward in the research on thrust tectonics, bringing this major subfield to the forefront of structural geology. This update covers a wide range of these advances and represents a benchmark volume in this field. Topics discussed include: problems of balancing, thrust sequencing, the dynamics of accretionary wedges, computer and analogue modelling and strain within thrust sheets. This book should be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers of geology, and a wide range of professionals in the oil and mining industries.
