Description

Special Publication 476

Published online 09/05/2020. Print copies available from 01/07/2020.

This volume has evolved from papers written in memory of Professor David Roberts. They summarize the key findings of recent research on passive margins, from tectonics, bathymetry, stratigraphy and sedimentation, structural evolution and magmatism.  Papers include analyses of the central and southern Atlantic margins of South America and Africa, papers on magmatism and extension in the NE Brazilian margin and on the Cote de Ivoire margin, rift architectures of the NW Red Sea margin, tectonics of the eastern Mediterranean margin, salt tectonics of passive margins of the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, and papers on the NW Shelf margin of Australia.  The volume provides readers with new insights into the complexities of passive margin systems that are in reality, not so passive.

Reviews

Gavin Elliott

The book does exactly what it says on the tin and with 16 papers covering passive margins with case studies from both sides of the South Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Australia along with the Mediterranean Sea so there is something for everyone.

Overall, this is an interesting collection of papers covering a wide range of features of passive margins and describing many of the techniques used to study them.
