Overview

This volume presents contributions resulting from the Tenth International Basement Tectonics Conference, held in Duluth, Minnesota, USA in August 1992. The first three parts -- the Rift Systems, Basement Control on Younger Structures, and Shear Zones -- not only treat the geology of North America, but also the geology of other regions. Abstracts are summarized in Part IV.
