Abstract

From his early studies of the complex geometry of a superimposed folding system to his demonstration of the importance of mathematical, mechanical, and geometrical techniques in the study of the origin and deformational conditions of rocks. John G. Ramsay has been one of the most influential personalities in structural geology in the last 40 years. He is profiled herein in commemmoration of his 60th birthday in 1991.
