Author: Richard H. Groshong Jr.
This book is a history of techniques for predicting subsurface structural geometries, and it provides insight into the context in which the techniques were developed. Who did it first? Why did they do it? How did their creative process work?
The volume follows important innovations (1) from first publication, (2) along the main threads of their development, (3) to nearly the end of the twentieth century, and it includes first-hand accounts from some of the innovators.
The first chapter is an overview of structural concepts developed before, and as, geology became recognized as a separate science. Chapter 2 discusses structure contouring as a predictive tool. Chapters 3–9 describe different methods for predicting the geometry in cross section, while Chapters 10–12 discuss methods for making 3‑D predictions.
The final chapters examine creative environments and future directions. Structural geologists, people interested
