OverviewTransform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones bridges the gap between the classic plate tectonic theory and new emerging ideas, offering an assessment of the state-of-the-art, pending questions, and future directions in the study of transform plate boundaries and fracture zones. The book includes a number of case studies and reviews on both oceanic and continental tectonic settings. Transform Plate Boundaries and Fracture Zones is a timely reference for a variety of researchers, including geophysicists, seismologists, structural geologists and tectonicists, as well as specialists in exploration geophysics and natural hazards. This book can also be used as an up-to-date reference at universities in both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Joao C.

Duarte works in tectonics, geodynamics and marine geology. He is currently at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon, where he coordinates the research group on Continental Margins and the Deep Ocean Frontier and the EarthSystems Doctoral School from the Instituto Dom Luiz (IDL). He also holds an Adjunct Position at Monash University. João has published more than 30 papers and edited an AGU monograph entitled “Plate Boundaries and Natural Hazards and an Elsevier special volume on the “200 years of geodynamic modelling. He was awarded in 2015 the Discovery Early Career Researcher Award from the Australian Research Council, and in 2017 he was awarded the Arne Richter Award for Outstanding Early Career Scientists of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).
