Balanced Geological Cross-Sections: An Essential Technique in Geological Research and Exploration

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Short Courses in Geology Series, Volume 6.The first edition of these short course notes was prepared by Woodward and Boyer for the SE section meeting of the Geological Society of America held in Knoxville, Tennessee, March 1985, and published as Dept. of Geol. Sci. Studies in Geology, v. 11. The Structural Geology and Tectonics Division of the GSA subsequently invited Woodward, Boyer and Suppe to present a two day short course at the National Geological Society of America meeting in Orlando, Florida, November 1985 (v. 11, 2nd edition). We are extremely pleased to be able to participate in the International Geological Congress and have completely revised the present course notes.
