Description

The complexity of plate interactions and associated crustal deformation in the Eastern Mediterranean region is reflected by the numerous destructive earthquakes that have occurred throughout its history. Many of these have been well documented and studied. In addition, the Aegean region provides examples of core-complex formation, synchronous basin evolution and subsequent graben formation and continental extensional deformation following orogenic contraction. It is therefore considered to be a perfect natural laboratory for the study of these mechanisms. The region has been the subject of intensive research for several decades. This book contains current results and ideas regarding the geodynamics of the Aegean and Anatolia. It will be essential reading for all geoscientists with an interest in the structural evolution of the Eastern Mediterranean.

As with other Geological Society publications this book is well presented, with excellent figures and reference listing. A comprehensive index is contained in the book. Although it might be of limited use to industry based Australian geologists, it could be useful reference material to a researcher interested in the history of the eastern Mediterranean or wishing to understand core complexes and recent tectonic events. Alternatively, a geological tourist wishing to tour this part of the world would find the book beneficial.
