About the Book

Regional Geology and Tectonics: Phanerozoic Passive Margins, Cratonic Basins and Global Tectonic Maps by David G. Roberts and Albert Bally is the third volume in the critically acclaimed three-volume series on Phanerozoic regional geology and tectonics. This volume delves into both volcanic and non-volcanic passive margins, focusing on the role of salt and shale driven by sedimentary tectonics in their evolution.

The book incorporates recent groundbreaking research on crucial geological locations, including Iberia, Newfoundland, China, and the North Sea. These case studies provide invaluable practical insights into the complexities of regional geology and tectonics, offering real-world examples that are essential for exploration geologists. Additionally, the text explores how the vast collection of volcanic data now available is essential in making accurate hydrocarbon assessments at passive margin sites.

With its comprehensive approach, this volume serves as a key reference for professionals in petroleum geology, researchers, and students studying tectonics, sedimentary geology, and hydrocarbon exploration. It offers thorough coverage of essential concepts and is an indispensable resource for understanding the latest developments in passive margins and cratonic basins.
