Book Synopsis Imaging, Mapping and Modelling Continental Lithosphere Extension and Breakup by : Garry D. Karner
Book excerpt: This volume summarises our present understanding of the formation of passive continental margins and their ocean-continent transitions. It outlines the geological, geophysical and petrological observations that characterize extensional systems, and how such observations can guide and constrain dynamic and kinematic models of continental lithosphere extension, breakup and the inception of organized sea-floor spreading.
