" ... developed out of two symposia: 'Deformation at Convergent Margins', convened at the European Union of Geosciences meeting (EUG XI) at Strasbourg in April 2001; and 'Vertical Coupling and Decoupling at Convergent Margins', convened at the AGU Fall meeting in San Francisco in December 2001"--Acknowledgements.
Crustal Cross Sections from the Western North American Cordillera and Elsewhere

Publisher: Geological Society of America
Release Date: 2009
"Exposed crustal cross sections provide a unique direct view of continental crust, and are a major source of insights into variations in lithologic and geochemical composition, structural style, metamorphism, plutonism, and rheology with progressive depth through the crust. This volume provides a synthesis of crustal cross sections with a special emphasis on Phanerozoic sections from the western North American Cordillera, supplemented by articles on lower- and mid-crustal sections through Proterozoic crust in North America and Australia, and the classic crustal section of Fiordland, New Zealand. Many of the papers describe multidisciplinary research on crustal sections and include data from various combinations of structural analysis, geochemistry, geothermobarometry, geochronology, geophysics, and other disciplines. The volume also discusses common problems for the interpretation of crustal cross sections, including how sections that expose deep-crustal rocks are eventually exhumed, and leading to the conclusion that there is no simple 'standard model' for continental crust. This volume will be useful to those interested in structural geology, tectonics, geodynamics, regional geology, petrology, geochemistry/isotope geology, and geophysics."--Pub. desc.
Tectonic Geodynamics

A comprehensive, integrative approach to tectonics and geodynamics for students and researchers Over the past half century, major achievements have been made in the study of Earth’s surface structure and kinematics and the internal dynamics of the lithosphere and mantle. Many of these advances have relied on the integration of data and models from plate tectonics and geodynamics, yet traditional divisions persist in how these two disciplines are taught and practiced. This textbook bridges the gap, connecting geophysical and geological approaches to understand the physical processes that shape our planet’s evolution, from mantle convection to orogeny and earthquakes. An innovative approach to the solid Earth system, Tectonic Geodynamics provides a basis to explore the fundamental connections between the planet’s deep interior dynamics and the surface. The first textbook to integrate tectonics, structural geology, geodynamics, geodesy, and seismology in a single volume Offers a physics-focused guide for understanding how the solid Earth system operates Uses a “no prerequisites” approach supported by an extensive appendix that includes a calculus and linear algebra primer and coverage of key topics such as coordinate systems and spectral analysis Includes a wealth of exercises and end-of-chapter review questions An ideal textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in geology, geophysics, and related fields such as physics and engineering Invaluable for self-study and as a self-contained resource for researchers Supporting materials provided for instructors, including an instruction guide, full-color illustration package, and sample syllabi
