Structure and Emplacement of High-Level Magmatic Systems - Special Publication no 302 (Geological Society)

There are continual rounds of annual conferences, special sessions and other symposia that provide ample opportunity for researchers to convene and discuss igneous processes. However, the origin of laccoliths and sills continue to inspire and confound geologists. In one sense, this is surprising. After all, don t we know all we need to know about these rocks by now? As testified by the diverse range of topics covered in this volume, the answer is clearly 'no'. This book contains contributions on physical geology, igneous petrology, volcanology, structural geology, crustal mechanics and geophysics that cover the entire gambit of geological processes associated with the shallow emplacement of magma. High-level intrusions in sedimentary basins can also act as hydrocarbon reservoirs and as sources for thermal maturation. In drawing together a diversity of perspectives on the emplacement of sills, laccoliths and dykes we hope to advance further our understanding of their behaviour.

"This book gives an up-to-date overview of the physical geology of sub-volcanic intrusions. Topics covered in this wide-ranging volume include important aspects of the field geology and physical volcanology of sills, laccoliths and sub-volcanic complexes, magma-sediment interaction and numerical and experimental studies aimed at quantifying more precisely the emplacement mechanics of high-level magmatic intrusions. Provocative papers ask whether laccoliths and high-level sills are forming today, and question the nature of the relationship between high-level intrusions and contemporaneous volcanic activity. Several contributions also deal with the more applied aspects of high-level magma emplacement and 3D seismic imaging of sill and laccolith complexes as relevant to the hydrocarbons industry. It is hoped that with the publication of this volume a consensus will emerge that will help to advance our understanding of the more important physical factors governing the emplacement of high-level intrusions in the continental crust, along with their wider geotectonic implications."--Publisher's descritpion

european Geologists, Many From Former Soviet Bloc Countries, Present 14 Studies They Delivered At An October 2002 Workshop In Freiberg, Germany On The Physical Geology Of Sub-volcanic Systems. The Subject Has Not Been So Thoroughly Examined Since 1970, They Say, And Could Be Of Interest To Igneous Petrologists, Volcanologists, Structural Geologists, And Petroleum Geologists And Engineers Working In Sedimentary Basins Where Minor Intrusions Contribute To Basin Architecture Or Act As Hydrocarbon Reservoirs Or Seals. Most Of The Case Studies Are In Europe, But The Indian Ocean And Utah Are Also Included. The Photographs Are Of A Higher Quality Than We Have Come To Expect From Conference Proceedings. Distributed In The Us By The American Association Of Petroleum Geologists. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, Or
