{"product_id":"9781862392120","title":"European Lithosphere Dynamics","description":"Europe provides an outstanding field laboratory for studying lithospheric processes through time, for tracing the tectonic evolution of crust and mantle from the present far back into the early Precambrian. Two things are particularly striking: the importance of plate tectonics during the Phanerozoic and through the Proterozic into the Archeaen, and the significance of tectonic inheritance, older structures and rheologies guiding the younger evolution. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEuropean Lithosphere Dynamics\u003c\/i\u003e grew out of a major European Science Foundation programme, EUROPROBE, with participation of many hundreds of Earth scientists from all over Europe. The main research activities focused on specific target areas and involved integration of geological, geophysical and geochemical methods. Defining surface-depth relationships was a prerequisite for interpretation of the processes, present and past, responsible for the formation of the lithosphere. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Memoir addresses the major features of the European lithosphere and is aimed at giving the reader an overview of their development and growth during three billion years of Earth history.\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Geological Society Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058504843504,"sku":"9781862392120","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781862392120_p0.jpg?v=1763601321","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781862392120","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
