The world’s mountain ranges are the clearest manifestations of long-term deformation of the continental crust. As such they have attracted geological investigations for centuries. Throughout this long history of research a few keynote publications stand out. One of the most important is the Geological Survey’s 1907 memoir, The Geological Structure of the North-West Highlands of Scotland. The papers in this Special Publication celebrate the 100th anniversary of this remarkable book, placing the original findings in a present-day context by juxtaposing them against modern studies, not only from the NW Highlands, but also from elsewhere around the world <...>
Сборник содержит доклады по проблемам тектоники континентальных областей Земли. Большинство работ посвящено различным аспектам теории геосинклиналей. Рассмотрены проблемы фундамента геосинклиналей, закономерности заложения, развития и пространственных соотношений геосинклинальных систем, вопросы о соотношениях геосинклиналей и платформ. Освещены особенности глубоких впадин молодых платформ. Высказаны предположения о причинах тектогенеза.
At first glance, coastal tectonics is as redundant a category as inland tectonics, for the shoreline does not necessarily coincide with a distinctive geodynamic environment. What prompted the international conference on the subject that led to this book was the Editors' conviction that coasts favour the study of active tectonics (a) by providing a reference datum- namely sea level- against which deformation can be measured and (b) by supplying datable material and environmental clues with which the progress of deformation can be traced <...>

Tectonics and structural geology of Indian terrain is of great interest to the Government and a number of private exploration agencies that are working presently. This edited volume aims to meet this requirement. In addition, B.Sc. and M. Sc. geoscience students undergoing geohistory and/or tectonic courses would benefit using this book. This edited volume brings 16 research papers (Chaps. 2–17) from both academia and industry. Mukherjee et al. (2019) in Chap. 2 present an exhaustive review on the geology and the geochronology and of the Chotanagpur Granite Gneissic Complex (CGGC). They classify the CGGC into three domains, and also comment on the India-Antarctica reconstruction. <...>
TECTONICS and structural geology are closely related in both their subject matter and their approach to the study of Earth's evolution. Although traditionally taught as courses that are distinct from the other branches of geological study such as petrology, paleontology, and geophysics, tectonics and structural geology have large areas of interdependence and overlap with these other fields. The overall goal of geology is to understand the evolution of a single planet, after all, and the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle must ultimately fit together. The practice and study of tectonics and structural geology require a familiarity with the scientific method and with a variety of standard techniques of data acquisition and analysis. Thus, an overview of tectonics and structural geology and a discussion of some of these basic techniques are the topics of Part I. <...>
Геологические работы А.П. Карпинского — важнейшие из его работ в них он дал наиболее крупныэ свои обобщения, заложившие основы геологии нашей страны, направившие на долгие годы мысль наших геологов по определенным руслам.
