Terrane Processes at the Margins of Gondwana
Accretionary orogens affect over half of the globe and have a distinctively
different evolution to Wilson-type orogens. It is increasingly evident that
accretionary orogenesis has played a significant role in the formation of the
continents.

The Seismogenic Zone of Subduction Thrust Faults
This volume attempts to answer such fundamental concerns as why some interplate subduction earthquakes are relatively modest in rupture length (greater than 100 km) while others, such as the great (M greater than 9) 1960 Chile, 1964 Alaska, ...

The Tectonic and Climatic Evolution of the Arabian Sea Region
The result suggests a predominance of conductive heat transport within the
accretionary complex. Little evidence is found to suggest that fluid flow or
frictional heat modifies the observed geothermal field to any great extent. We also
studied ...
