Atlas of Shear Zone Structures in Meso-scale
Study of structures associated with shear zones is a crucial aspect to understand the deformation mechanism associated with such zones. Shear zones have been emphasized since it will lead to many latest applied studies such as radioactive waste disposal,

Preface
Interpretation of structures from field is an integral part of structural geology. While research papers cannot display morphologic variations of individual structures, an atlas of field structural snaps remained due. This book fills up that gap. I have drawn most examples from western Himalayan shear zones. The reader is suggested to consult the key papers in the ‘References’ section for more information. I welcome comments and counterarguments at: [email protected]
