The elucidation of the mechanisms and kinematics of shear zone
deformation, at both local and regional scales, is the subject of a
great deal of interest to scientists in the hydrocarbon industry, in
seismology, and in structural geology more generally. This book
comprises a collection of five theoretical and twelve regional
contributions to the subject from a number of leading researchers in the
field, with particular emphasis on work carried out in the Indian
subcontinent. The book will be invaluable to advances students and
researchers involved in the kinematics of shear.
