Lithosphere Dynamics and Sedimentary Basins of the Arabian Plate and Surrounding Areas

Presenting selected papers from the International Lithosphere Program (ILP) Task Force, this book highlights 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 on energy resources in these areas. It comprises a collection of research studies from the Middle East, North Africa and the Mediterranean domain, focusing on (1) the lithospheric architecture of the Arabian Plate, (2) tectonics and sedimentation in the Gulf of Corinth, (3) Triassic carbonate breccias and seismic imagery in Iraq, (4) reservoirs, aquifers and fluid transfers in Saudi Basins, (5) salt tectonics in Yemen, and (6) Cretaceous–Eocene foreland inversions in Saudi Arabia.
