Lithosphere dynamics and sedimentary basins of the Arabian Plate and surrounding areas

This book focuses on the links between deep earth (mantle) and shallow processes in areas of active tectonics in the Arabian Plate and Surrounding Areas. It also provides key information for energy resources in these areas. The book is a compilation of selected papers from the Task Force of the Inte...
