About the Book

Regional Geology and Tectonics: Phanerozoic Rift Systems and Sedimentary Basins by David G. Roberts and Albert Bally is the second volume in a comprehensive three-volume series on Phanerozoic regional geology and tectonics. This work provides a detailed exploration of rift systems—regions where Earth's outer shell and crust have been stretched due to seismic activity. Understanding these rift locations is vital for exploration geologists, especially when it comes to identifying the most promising hydrocarbon sites that are both efficient for extraction and safe.

The book presents extensive compilations of industry-related data, featuring regional seismic lines, cross-sections, and summaries of both analogue and theoretical models. These are essential for understanding the structure and stratigraphy of various geological settings. This volume is especially useful for those involved in petroleum exploration, as it offers an essential backdrop to comprehending the intricacies of rift tectonics and sedimentary basins, which play a crucial role in hydrocarbon deposits.

Whether you're a professional petroleum geologist, a researcher, or a student with a keen interest in regional geology and tectonics, this text offers valuable insights and serves as a vital reference for understanding Earth’s geological processes and their implications in the petroleum industry.
