A Continent Revealed The European Geotraverse, Structure and Dynamic Evolution [Paperback]

A Continent Revealed presents the findings of the European Geotraverse (EGT) - a unique study of the tectonic evolution of the continent of Europe and the first comprehensive cross section of the continental lithosphere.The scientific achievements of the European Geotraverse Committee (EGT) are presented in this unique study of the tectonic evolution of the continent of Europe and the first comprehensive cross section of the continental lithosphere.The scientific achievements of the European Geotraverse Committee (EGT) are presented in this unique study of the tectonic evolution of the continent of Europe and the first comprehensive cross section of the continental lithosphere.A Continent Revealed presents the findings of the European Geotraverse (EGT)--a unique study of the tectonic evolution of the continent of Europe and the first comprehensive cross section of the continental lithosphere. The project produced maps and geologic profiles, along a 250 kilometer wide swath stretching 4600 kilometers from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, which form a three dimensional picture of the structure, properties, and composition of the continental lithosphere of Europe in an atlas format. Many of the data that comprise the maps are also presented on an compact disc (ROM). The discussion volume, the maps, and a booklet containing gravity, electric, and magnetic field data constitute the complete boxed set. The paperback discussion volume is also available separately.1. The reason for the European Geotraverse; 2. Mobile Europe; 3. The seismic structural framework of Europe; 4. Structure and physical properties of the lithosphere in Europe; 5. Recent activity in the lithosphere of Europe; 6. The tectonic evolution of Europe; 7. Lithosphere dynamics and evolution. The maps are monuments to careful scientific cartography: They are clearly drawn, beautifully colored, and filled with useful information....An essential addition to any library used by advanced undergraduate and grl.
