The third editon of this dely acdaimed Indbook provides @ comprehenerve miroduchan Io oli gapedis of global tedonice. Revisions to his new edition refledi Ihe most signifconi recent odvaneee
in the Keld, providing a thorough, occessible, and up-to-date ter. Combining o historical opprooch with process science, Global Tectonics provides a careful balance between geological ond geophysical material in both continental and oceonic regimes.
New and expanded chapters in this third edition Indude Precambrian tecionics and ihe supercontinent cycle, mantle processes, induding montle plumes: the implications of plate tectonics for environmental change: large igneous provinces: rifted continental margins: ocean ridges: continental transforms, subduction zones: and numerous orogenic examples. Written in an engaging style, this important fext is an essential reference for undergraduates and graduate students who have a basic introduction in the geosciences. Philip Kearey was Senior Lecturer in Applied Geophysics in the Department of Earih Sciences at Bristol University, UK prior to his premature death in 2003. In his research he used various | types of geophysical data, but gravity and magnetic data in particular, to elucidate crustal structure In the eastern Caribbean, Canadian shield, and southern England. Keith A. Klepeis is Professor of Geology in the Department at the University of Vermont, USA. He specializes in the areas of structural geology and continental tectonics and has worked extensively on the evolution of orogenic belis and fault systems in New Zealand, Patagonia, West Antarctica, Australia, British Columbia, and southeast Alaska. Prederick J. Vine is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K. He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and has received numerous awards for work on the interpretation of oceanic magnetic anomalies and ophiolites, fragments of oceanic crust thrust Up on land, in terms of sea floor spreading.
