Description / Table of Contents:
This volume is the result of a conference on Alpine Tectonics held in 1987 under the auspices of The Geological Society of London. The conference was the second in a new series of meetings organized by the Society on controversial and topical subjects, and included the 1987 Fermor Lecture given by Professor K.J. Hsu. The Fermor Lecture was supported by 23 other contributions, 11 from non-British geologists, thus giving the meeting a strong international flavour.
The volume contains 23 papers divided into three sections: Tectonic evolution of the external zones of the Alps; Internal and southern zones of the Alps; and Models of the development of the Alpine Chain, with the final chapter in the volume being the Fermor Lecture entitled Time and place in Alpine orogenesis. The book aims to represent current views, many of which are controversial, on a fascinating and rapidly-changing topic. The book should not be regarded as a monument, but rather as a milestone.
