The Continental Dynamics of the Rocky Mountain (CD-ROM) experiment (1995-2004), from which this book derives, follows in this tradition, motivated by three leading questions: how are continents initially formed and stabilized; how do old lithospheric structures and boundaries influence younger tectonic events; and how did processes related to the plate boundary affect the evolution of the Cenozoic Rocky Mountains? To successfully answer such questions requires integrated studies focused from the surface, through the crust, into the mantle, and with a four-dimensional approach that also encompasses the time dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: American Geophysical Union\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2005-01-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: SF\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780875904191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780875904191\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 274.30cm x221.00cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 441\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"American Geophysical Union","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379970568332,"sku":"9780875904191","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780875904191_ff6deb78-3e55-48d0-80d6-66e5de2498d0.jpg?v=1755182771","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780875904191","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
