✦ Synopsis
The Mediterranean Region And Asia Provide A Natural Laboratory To Investigate The Driving Forces Of Continental Tectonics In An Ongoing Collisional Orogen And The Crustal And Mantle Response To Various Modes Of Deformation Associated With Plate Boundary Processes. The Multidisciplinary Research Efforts In This Region Over The Last Fifteen Years Have Produced A Wealth Of New Data To Better Understand The Interplay And Feedback Mechanisms Between Crustal And Mantle Processes And The Dynamic Landscape Evolution In A Complexly Deforming Area. A Number Of Discrete Collisional Events Between The Gondwana-derived Continental Fragments (i.e., Adria, Pelagonia, Arabia, India) And Eurasia Controlled The Geodynamics Of The Mediterranean Region And Asia During The Late Mesozoic And Cenozoic. This Book Is A Collection Of Research Papers, Presenting New Data, Interpretations, And Syntheses On Various Aspects Of The Collision-induced Tectonic, Magmatic, Metamorphic, And Geomorphic Processes That Have Affected The Evolution Of This Orogenic Belt. It Should Help Us Better Understand The Mode And Nature Of Tectonic And Magmatic Processes And Crustal Evolution In Active Collision Zones, And The Distribution And Causes Of Seismic And Volcanic Events And Their Impact On Landscape Evolution.--publisher's Website.
