Tectonic Evolution, Collision, and Seismicity of Southwest Asia
Southwest Asia is one of the most remarkable regions on Earth in terms of active faulting and folding, large-magnitude earthquakes, volcanic landscapes, petroliferous foreland basins, historical civilizations as well as geologic outcrops that display the protracted and complex 540 m.y. stratigraphic record of Earth's Phanerozoic Era. Emerged from the birth and demise of the Paleo-Tethys and Neo-Tethys oceans, southwest Asia is currently the locus of ongoing tectonic collision between the Eurasia-Arabia continental plates. The region is characterized by the high plateaus of Iran and Anatolia fringed by the lofty ranges of Zagros, Alborz, Caucasus, Taurus, and Pontic mountains; the region also includes the strategic marine domains of the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman, Caspian, and Mediterranean. This 19-chapter volume, published in honor of Manuel Berberian, a preeminent geologist from the region, brings together a wealth of new data, analyses, and frontier research on the geologic evolution, collisional tectonics, active deformation, and historical and modern seismicity of key areas in southwest Asia.

La foudre se résume-t-elle à un phénomène naturel, convenablement expliqué par les lois de l'électricité ? Ou faut- il au contraire voir dans les éclairs des messages permettant aux puissances célestes de communiquer leurs volontés à l'espèce humaine ? Au cours de l'histoire, tous les peuples ont opté pour la seconde possibilité : l'éclair punissait un délinquant, révélait une vérité cachée ou promettait la fertilité aux jeunes mariés. Dès lors l'idée de neutraliser les nuages et d'apprivoiser la foudre, par un moyen aussi peu sacré qu'un paratonnerre, ne pouvait que susciter de violentes controverses. Face aux partisans souvent euphoriques d'une maîtrise totale de...
