Description

This book focuses on the links between deep earth (mantle) and shallow processes in areas�of active tectonics in the Arabian Plate and Surrounding Areas. It also provides key information�for energy resources in these areas. The book is a compilation of selected papers from�the Task Force of the International Lithosphere Program (ILP). It comprises a set of research�studies from the Middle East, North Africa and the Mediterranean domain focusing on (1)�the architecture, geodynamic evolution and modelling of the Red Sea rift system and its�surroundings, and tectonics and sedimentation in the Gulf of Corinth, (2) the crustal architecture�and georesources of the North Algerian Offshore, (3) Reservoirs, aquifers and fluid�transfers in Saudi Basins, Petroleum systems and salt tectonics in Yemen and (4) Cretaceous-Eocene foreland inversions in Saudi Arabia.Typham this is the title: Lithosphere Dynamics and Sedimentary Basins of the Arabian Plate and Surrounding Areas
