Fractures and Faults in Sandstone and Sandstone-Shale/Mudstone Sequences and Their Impact on Groundwater

in many countries, with the common factor being guiding and connecting influence of Dr. Atilla Aydin (1944 to 2022); Dr. Aydin, formerly a professor at Stanford University (1991 to 2015), was a global leader of research on the topic. Of the book co-authors, Ramil Ahmadov, Marco Antonellini, Eric Flodin and Jian Zhong were graduate students supervised by Dr. Aydin and Antonino Cilona, Shang Deng and Ghislain de Joussineau were postdoctoral scientists on his Stanford team. Drs. Cherry and Parker were collaborators with Dr. Aydin who provided their hydrogeologic expertise on the last major project involving sandstone sequences led by Dr. Aydin. The combination of expertise and experience of these authors provides readers with a unique window into fractures and faults in the groundwater context within sandstone sequences.
