Description for Mantle and Lower Crust Exposed in Oceanic Ridges and in Ophiolites
Hardback. Approaches the processes involved in accretion taking place at oceanic ridges via petrological and structural analysis of oceanic rocks. This book includes cases of slow and fast oceanic spreading and inferred analogues in ophiolites. Editor(s): Vissers, R.L.M; Nicolas, Adolphe. Series: Petrology and Structural Geology. Num Pages: 222 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RBG; RBKC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 14. Weight in Grams: 1110.
This volume follows a Specialized Symposium on "Mantle denudation in slow spreading ridges and in ophiolites", held at the XII EUG Meeting in Strasbourg, spring 1993. During the meeting it was felt that the contribu tions to the Symposium justified a volume presenting its main scientific achievements. The present title of the volume shows that the center of inter est has slightly shifted with respect to the initial objective: in order to under stand the processes involved in accretion taking place at oceanic ridges, it is crucial to study the interaction between uppermost mantle and lower crust. The approach favored ... Read more

Reviews for Mantle and Lower Crust Exposed in Oceanic Ridges and in Ophiolites
` ... presents the most recent data and interpretations from several key ophiolite complexes and mid-ocean-ridge segments and, as such, it is a good reference book for research on any aspect of oceanic crust generation. I highly recommend it for graduate students and professionals actively studying mid-ocean-ridge tectonics and sea-floor spreading.' Journal ... Read more
