内容説明
The continent of Europe has a complex geological history of successive tectonic events. Over several thousand million years these have formed the present day configuration of major tectonic provinces. A Continent Revealed unravels this history by presenting and interpreting the results of the European Geotraverse (EGT) - a unique study of the continent of Europe and the first comprehensive cross section of the continental lithosphere. An illustrated book and an atlas of data have been assembled by key workers in the EGT project to make known the wealth of information yielded by the ten year project. Seismic, gravity, magnetic, electrical, geothermal and other geophysical and geological data, presented as separate maps and as data files on CD-ROM, have revealed the nature of the deep interior of the continent and the variation in character from one tectonic province to another. The integration of the results and interpretation of the different characters has given new insights into the mechanisms of continental evolution and Europe's geodynamics. From this perspective it is evident that understanding geological processes demands a multidisciplinary approach and that all processes, be they sedimentary, metamorphic or igneous, on every scale, involve the whole lithosphere.

内容説明
A Continent Revealed presents the findings of the European Geotraverse (EGT), - a unique study of the tectonic evolution of the continent of Europe, and the first comprehensive cross section of the continental lithosphere. A well-illustrated book and a set of maps and profiles have been put together by key workers in the EGT project to present the great wealth of information yielded by the project. The book outlines the scientific achievements of the European Geotraverse. It tells how the information now available is key evidence in the piecing together of the tectonic evolution of the European continent. The authors have reviewed the work of their colleagues to unravel the nature, evolution and dynamics of the European lithosphere. The stimulating study reveals much of the workings of the earth and the processes that shaped the continent of Europe as we see it today. The maps and profiles, along a 250 kilometre wide swath stretching 4600 kilometres from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean, form a three dimensional picture of the structure, properties and composition of the continental lithosphere of Europe in an atlas format. Many of the data are also presented on an accompanying compact disk. The book completes the boxed set, and is also available on its own in paperback. The EGT project has filled many gaps in our knowledge of the lithosphere, and is a celebration of coordination and communication across geographical borders and between disciplines. This book tells the story of international collaboration on an unprecedented scale, by several hundred geoscientists in a series of well-defined international projects.
