Overview

Focusing on continental margins, this book provides an account of a meeting, which brought together specialists in marine and terrestrial geology, geochemistry, and geophysics. Results of the workshop show that many of the fundamental plate interaction processes are common to all margins, whether formed by extension, contraction, or translation.
