The extension of the lithosphere, controlling the development of rifted basins, is driven by a
combination of plate-boundary forces, frictional forces exerted on the base of the lithosphere …

During the quadrennial term 1979–1982, major advances have been made in our
knowledge of the rheology of the oceanic lithosphere by the skillful combination of …

Porphyry deposits arguably represent the most economically important class of nonferrous
metallic mineral resources. These magmatic-hydrothermal deposits are characterized by …

Review of the second edition" For geologists and geophysicists studying sedimentary fill of
basins, this volume is a valuable addition to their shelves. The book is packed with …

It has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book. Much
progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original ideas of Sloss and of …

Quantitative modelling of the filling of sedimentary basins was begun in earnest in the
1960s. Dozens of themes and variations have been proposed since then, and have yielded …

Seismic reflection profiles and well data are used to determine the Cenozoic stratigraphic
and tectonic development of the northern margin of the South China Sea. In the Taiwan …

The Bouguer gravity anomaly over the Himalayan, Alpine, and Appalachian mountains is
characterized by a generally asymmetric gravity “low”, which spans the mountains and …

Sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposits comprise disseminated to veinlet Cu and Cu-Fe
sulfides in sili-ciclastic or dolomitic sedimentary rocks. Sediment-hosted stratiform copper …

We suggest that the uplift of rift flanks results from mechanical unloading of the lithosphere
during extension and consequent isostatic rebound. This mechanism is presented as an …
