Geodynamics of the Alps 3

Description

Geodynamics of the Alps consists of three volumes. This third volume is entirely dedicated to Alpine collision. It describes and interprets elements of the Alpine chain, including Alpine magmatism, the formation of external massifs, the foreland basin, the exhumation of the internal part of the chain and the northern deformation front of the Alps.

The aim of this book is to create a space for experts on Alpine research to present the state of the art of specific subjects and provide their own interpretations.
