Springer Tectonics and Geophysics of Continental Rifts - NATO Proceedings

This comprehensive volume presents research from the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Paleorift Systems, held in Oslo, Norway from 26 July to 5 August 1977. The proceedings document findings from 70 official participants and 16 observers representing 14 countries, focusing on continental rift structures with particular emphasis on the Permian Oslo Rift. The publication includes invited lectures, research papers, and progress reports from leading geophysicists and geologists who participated in six field trips throughout the Oslo Region. Part of the NATO Science Series C collection, this volume forms the second instalment of a two-volume set that captures the state of knowledge in paleorift system research during the late 1970s. Researchers, academics, and students of structural geology, geophysics, and continental tectonics will find detailed technical discussions and field observations that shaped understanding of rift development mechanisms.
