Book Synopsis Field Trip Guides to the Backbone of the Americas in the Southern and Central Andes by : Suzanne Mahlburg Kay
Download or read book Field Trip Guides to the Backbone of the Americas in the Southern and Central Andes written by Suzanne Mahlburg Kay. This book was released on 2008. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geologic field guides in this volume to the Andes of Argentina and Chile were written for the five field trips accompanying the 2006 Backbone of the Americas conference in Mendoza, Argentina. The trip in chapter 1 to southern Patagonia highlights the ridge-trench collision theme; the next three to different regions of the south-central Andes examine temporal and spatial issues related to shallowing subduction; and the trip in the last chapter to the central Andean Puna plateau highlights plateau uplift in the context of steepening subduction and lithospheric delamination.

Book Synopsis Backbone of the Americas by : Suzanne Mahlburg Kay
Download or read book Backbone of the Americas written by Suzanne Mahlburg Kay. This book was released on 2009. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The American Cordilleras form a continuous orogen that extends for 12,500 km along the eastern flank of the Pacific Ocean from Arctic to Antarctic latitudes as an integral part of the circum-Pacific orogenic belt. Following two summary chapters on the overall anatomy and evolution of North and South American segments of the orogenic system, this volume includes ten seminal chapters dealing with salient aspects of the key geodynamic processes that have accompanied Cordilleran geotectonic evolution: forearc terrane accretion, arc magmatism, shallow subduction, and backarc intracontinental deformation. The papers in this volume were selected from those presented at the 2006 Backbone of the Americas Meeting, which was sponsored jointly by multiple North and South American geological societies in Mendoza, Argentina."--pub. desc.

Book Synopsis Structural Geology and Tectonics Field Guidebook—Volume 2 by : Soumyajit Mukherjee
Download or read book Structural Geology and Tectonics Field Guidebook—Volume 2 written by Soumyajit Mukherjee. This book was released on 2023-01-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second volume of an edited work aiming to help novice geologists to explore terrains independently. Geoscience fieldwork with focus on structural geology and tectonics has become more important in the last few years from both academic and industrial perspectives. This book also works as a resource material for batches of students or geological survey professionals undergoing training as parts of their course curriculum/training. Industry persons, on the other hand, can get a first-hand idea about what to expect in the field, in case no academic persons are available with the team. This book focuses on structural geology and tectonics and compiles terrains from several regions of the globe. This book also includes field guide chapters for primary sedimentary structures.
