Sedimentation in Oblique-slip Mobile Zones
An edited collection of articles on oblique-slip mobile zone sedimentation Sedimentation in Oblique?Slip Mobile Zones is a collection of 14 articles on the topic, edited by Peter F. Ballance Harold G. Reading. The topic is introduced with an essay on the characteristics and identification of strike-slip fault systems. Further chapters cover examples from California, Scotland, Norway, New Zealand, Northern Spain, Southwest Turkey, and more. Offshore sedimentary basins are also covered.

South Pacific Sedimentary Basins
Hardbound. Sedimentary basins contain most of the extant record of the earth's history, and they provide us with most of our earth-sourced raw materials. Therefore their study is both scientifically and economically important. This book gives the first comprehensive coverage of sedimentary basins in the New Zealand region. Comprising 21 chapters by 32 authors, it discusses sedimentary basins ranging in age from Permian to Quaternary. The chapters are process- and topic-oriented. Three distinct basin-forming periods are covered: 1) Permian through Jurassic arc-related terranes; 2) Mid-Cretaceous through Oligocene extensional basins; 3) Neogene convergent margin basins.Resource scientists investigating sedimentary basins and all researchers working on basin-related topics will find this volume of interest.
Continental Tectonics
Brings together a series of papers which explore various aspects of the deformation of continental lithosphere, covering different tectonic settings from the Palaeozoic to the present day. These include terrane accretion and juxtaposition, the exhumation of high-pressure terrains, and mechanisms of crustal extension and rifting.

Heavy Minerals in Use
The book is structured thematically, encompassing principles, processes and products, practice and applications. Discussion of processes that control heavy mineral assemblages throughout the rock cycle are presented by leading experts, whose key-note works are followed by specialist case studies. Each work also provides details on the geology of the study area, techniques and data treatment. The high number of contributions represent the collective experience and wisdom of generations of geologists, and provide an invaluable source of references to works carried out in many parts of the world. * Presents a unique and authoritative resource of immediate relevance and practical use to the researcher and applied geologist * Contains case studies demonstrating the broad range of applications of heavy minerals in a variety of modern and ancient geological settings, and in resource exploration * Includes examples of geological problems from employing heavy mineral analysis and establishing criteria that can be applied before deciding to undertake a study
