About this book

Experts in the field offer the first comprehensive review of the tectonics and magmatism of backarc basins, covering their initial rift stage to mature spreading. Complete with numerous illustrations, each of the twelve chapters focuses on a young, active backarc basin of the circum-Pacific-where volcano-tectonic processes are best studied because of their activity. Key themes in this volume include volcano-tectonics setting; cause and location; rift magmas; and hydrothermal activity. Researchers also present models of the dynamic processes occurring in backarc basins.

Reviews

`The book is loaded with new data and observations that collectivley provide important new insights into the subject.'
Science

`This volume will be appreciated by a wide spectrum of the geological community....it provides a major source of reference for the key backarc systems of the modern ocean floor.'
