Trench-forearc geology: Sedimentation and tectonics on modern and ancient active plate margins / Впадинно-преддуговая геология: осадконакопление и тектоника на современных и древних активных окраинах плит

This book is a collection of papers on an aspect of plate tectonics of which our understanding is at present limited. In the mid-1970s, prior to the recent phase of IPOD active margin drilling, few geologists would have anticipated that at the start of the 1980s so many new questions concerning the nature of tectonic and sedimentary processes in forearc regions would have come to light.
1980 seemed to be a good time to synthesize current research and future problems. Several fascinating transects of active margins had been drilled in the preceding years, with largely enigmatic results. With the exception of drilling on the Barbados Ridge in early 1981, IPOD active margin activities were about to enter a period of abeyance. Several academic institutions had completed informative cruises on active margins, and numerous studies of emergent areas in modern forearc regions and of proposed ancient forearc terranes had come
to fruition. For these reasons the British Sedimentological Research Group, a Specialist Group of the Geological Society of London, decided in 1979 to convene a three-day international conference on the theme of 'Trench and Forearc Sedimentation and Tectonics in Modern and Ancient Subduction Zones'. The meeting was held on 23-25 June 1980, at the Geological Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London. It was attended by more than 180 earth scientists from 17 countries. <...>
