Deformation of the Continental Crust: The Legacy of Mike Coward (Geological Society Special Publication No. 272)

this Special Publication, In Memory And Celebration Of The Work Of Professor Mike Coward, Is About The Deformation Of The Continental Lithosphere. The Collected Papers Discuss Geometry, Structural Principles, Processes And Problems In A Wide Range Of Tectonic Settings And Thereby Reflect The Breadth Of Coward's Interests. They Encompass The Evolution Of Precambrian Basement Gneiss Terrains, The Geometry And Evolution Of Thrust Systems, Basement Involvement And Structural Inheritance In Basins, Syn-orogenic Extension, Salt Tectonics, The Implication Of Structural Evolution On Hydrocarbon Prospectivity And Structural Controls On Mineralization. Examples Are Drawn From The Lewisian And Moine Thrust Belt Of Nw Scotland, The Italian Apennines, Nw Himalayas, The Cyclades, Oman, Zagros Mountains, Colombian Cordillera, Carpathians, North Sea, Offshore Brazil, Regional Studies Of The Irumide Belt (central Africa), Taurus Mountains (turkey), Greater South America, And From The Witwatersrand Basin Of South Africa And The Antler Orogeny Of Sw Usa.
