Description

Special Publication 401.

Volcanism and tectonism are the dominant endogenic means by which planetary surfaces change. This book aims to encompass the broad range in character of volcanism, tectonism, faulting and associated interactions observed on planetary bodies across the inner solar system - a region that includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars and asteroids. The diversity and breadth of landforms produced by volcanic and tectonic processes is enormous, and varies across the inner solar system bodies. As a result, the selection of prevailing landforms and their underlying formational processes that are described and highlighted in this volume are but a primer to the expansive field of planetary volcanism and tectonism. This Special Publication features 22 research articles about volcanic and tectonic processes manifest across the inner solar system.

Print copy available from 5 January 2015. Published online 14 January 2015.

This is an important yet challenging publication that for non-experts like me, requires a lot of lateral investigation. There are unexpected rewards.

The book contains a valuable 57-page overview followed by 27 geological articles – all fully referenced. The overview is a welcome explanatory primer for the articles that follow.
