Description
This authoritative work by Itoh Y. presents a detailed multidisciplinary approach to understanding sedimentary basin formation on active plate margins. The book integrates insights from structural geology, geophysics, and sedimentology to explain the complex processes governing basin development in tectonically dynamic environments.
Readers will discover how crustal deformation, stress regimes, and plate interactions create the structural geometries that control sediment accumulation patterns. The text examines case studies from various active margins worldwide, providing practical examples of basin evolution. Topics include rift basin development, strike-slip basins, foreland basins, and accretionary wedge systems.
Essential for geoscience professionals, researchers, and students, this volume offers comprehensive coverage of modern basin analysis techniques and interpretative frameworks applicable to both petroleum exploration and fundamental geological research.
