This advanced undergraduate textbook provides a thoroughly modern overview of plate tectonics so that readers grasp how the outer part of our planet works in relation to the deep interior. The text is supported by clear prose, helpful analogies, stunning colour imagery, and a rich suite of online resources.

Haakon Fossen is a longstanding professor of Structural Geology at the University of Bergen and has previously worked as an exploration and production geoscientist. His research ranges from hard to soft rocks and is based on field mapping, microscopy, physical and numerical modelling, geochronology, and seismic interpretation. He has authored close to 200 scientific publications and holds the first Nordic Geoscientist Award, a University of Minnesota Distinguished Leadership Award, and an Outstanding Paper Award from the Structural Geology and Tectonics Division of the Geological Society of America, of which he is also a Fellow. Professor Fossen has written several other books and book chapters, including his market-leading Structural Geology (2016)textbook for Cambridge University Press, and has a keen interest in developing electronic resources for teaching and outreach.
