Download or read book Tectonics of Sedimentary Basins written by Cathy Busby and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-12-07 with total page 1034 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the complex interplay between tectonics and sedimentation is a key endeavor in modern earth science. Many of the world's leading researchers in this field have been brought together in this volume to provide concise overviews of the current state of the subject. The plate tectonic revolution of the 1960's provided the framework for detailed models on the structure of orogens and basins, summarized in a 1995 textbook edited by Busby and Ingersoll. Tectonics of Sedimentary Basins: Recent Advances focuses on key topics or areas where the greatest strides forward have been made, while also providing on-line access to the comprehensive 1995 book. Breakthroughs in new techniques are described in Section 1, including detrital zircon geochronology, cosmogenic nuclide dating, magnetostratigraphy, 3-D seismic, and basin modelling. Section 2 presents the new models for rift, post-rift, transtensional and strike slip basin settings. Section 3 addresses the latest ideas in convergent margin tectonics, including the sedimentary record of subduction intiation and subduction, flat-slab subduction, and arc-continent collision; it then moves inboard to forearc basins and intra-arc basins, and ends with a series of papers formed under compessional strain regimes, as well as post-orogenic intramontane basins. Section 4 examines the origin of plate interior basins, and the sedimentary record of supercontinent formation. This book is required reading for any advanced student or professional interested in sedimentology, plate tectonics, or petroleum geoscience.

Download or read book Salt Tectonics written by Martin P. A. Jackson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Salt tectonics is the study of how and why salt structures evolve and the three-dimensional forms that result. A fascinating branch of geology in itself, salt tectonics is also vitally important to the petroleum industry. Covering the entire scale from the microscopic to the continental, this textbook is an unrivalled consolidation of all topics related to salt tectonics: evaporite deposition and flow, salt structures, salt systems, and practical applications. Coverage of the principles of salt tectonics is supported by more than 600 color illustrations, including 200 seismic images captured by state-of-the-art geophysical techniques and tectonic models from the Applied Geodynamics Laboratory at the University of Texas, Austin. These combine to provide a cohesive and wide-ranging insight into this extremely visual subject. This is the definitive practical handbook for professional geologists and geophysicists in the petroleum industry, an invaluable textbook for graduate students, and a reference textbook for researchers in various geoscience fields.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our understanding of extensional tectonics have improved substantially within the last three decades based on geological, geophysical, geochemical studies, and analog and computer modeling in the regions extension have taken place. These regions include a) passive margings such as both sides of the Atlantic Ocean; b) narrow rift zones such as East African rift valley, c) large scale continental extension in Basins and Ranges of Western North America, and the Aegean Region of Eastern Europe and Western Asia where extensional tectonics preceded by contractional tectonics. However, there are still many important unexplored questions, which include determining a) evolution of extensional basins; b) the role of strike-slip faulting in extensional processes; c) amount and percentage of cumulative extension in regions experiencing continental extension; d) geometry of extensional features in the middle and lower crust; e) nature of upper mantle and asthenospheric flow; and f) seismic hazards. Many present and ancient extended terrains such as the Basins and Ranges and the Aegean region experienced collisional tectonics preceeding large-scale extension and metamorphic core complex formation. Extension Tectonics and Basin Formation is an attempt to answer a key question in these regions on how this process works. This type of tectonic and petrologic succession may be "normal" for collisional mountain belts due to gravitational collapse of over thickened crust, or, alternatively, extension may be driven by other forcing factors, such as slab roll-back or continental escape. Volume highlights include: - A platform for determining future research areas in extensional tectonics and will help with developing strategies exploring earth resources in extensional basins, such as oil and gas, precious metals and borate minerals - Renewed interests on the Continental Metamorphic Core complexes with advancement in radiometric age-dating methods - Geochemistry and sedimentary depositional environments in Borate deposits in continental extensional basins - Mechanics and geological evolution of continental break-up and development of passive margins - A complete treatment of extensional tectonics and basin formation from continental breakup to mature passive margins - Role of large-scale continental extension in continental break, failed rifts, structural development of Aulacagens

Download or read book Continental Rifts Evolution Structure Tectonics written by K.H. Olsen and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1995-11-24 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multi-author book has been prepared by an international group of geoscientists that have been active in rift research since the late 1960s. In 1984, an informal, grass-roots study group was initiated to compare individual research results and to explore in greater depth the apparent differences and similarities in the interpretations from various rift systems. The group became known as the CREST working group, an acronym of Continental Rifts: Evolution, Structure and Tectonics, which not surprisingly became the title of this book. Continental Rifts: Evolution, Structure, Tectonics presents an overview of the present state of understanding and knowledge of the processes of continental rifting from a multidisciplinary, lithospheric scale perspective. The chapters have been structured on each rift system in approximately the same synoptic sequence, so as to facilitate comparisons of rifts by the reader. The book complements its predecessors by presenting a more unified picture. It succeeds in presenting the status of a representative majority of the continental rift systems that have been at the forefront of recent research. For students and experienced researchers alike, this book will be of significant value in assessing the current state of knowledge and in serving as a framework for future research.
