San Andreas Fault System : Displacement, Palinspastic Reconstruction, and Geologic Evolution

The authors of the ten chapters in this volume critically examine the geologic evidence that constrains timing and magnitude of movement on various faults of the San Andreas system, and they develop and discuss paleogeologic reconstructions based on these constraints. The volume offers new insight into the evolution of the San Andreas fault system, to show that there are still areas of significant geologic controversy in understanding that evolution, and to stimulate further study of the geologic evolution of the fault system. Included in a separate slipcase are eight plates (maps and charts). Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
