This rift basin is  generally regarded as the best natural geological laboratory in the  world in which to study the processes of rift formation. Uplift of the  rift margins in an arid climate results in extensive three-dimensional  exposures of pre- and syn-rift strata and associated structures. These  serve as analogues for the understanding and hydrocarbon exploration  of deeper buried rift-systems on continental margins such as the North  Sea and the Atlantic margins. The Red Sea - Gulf of Aden rift  is also exceptional in that its stratigraphy spans all stages from  pre-rift environments, syn-rift continental to marine environments  through the rift to drift transition to post-rift sea-floor spreading.  \u003cbr\u003e  The work is arranged in eight sections: following a review of the  sedimentology and stratigraphy of rift basins, the magmatism and  structural evolution of the Red Sea - Gulf of Aden rift is  reviewed. Subsequently, new case studies are presented of the early  rifting environment, syn-rift sedimentation, tectonics and diagenesis,  evaporites and salt tectonics. Post-rift sediments of the axial trough  are then discussed along with studies of reefs, coastal zone and shelf  sediments, and the tectonic geomorphology of the rift margin  escarpment. \u003cbr\u003e  This work results from extensive new research in the rift basin  largely carried out under collaborative research projects by European  and Middle Eastern geologists. It will be an invaluable reference work  for geoscientists in the hydrocarbon, groundwater and mineral  extraction industries, as well as for researchers in university  departments of earth sciences, mining and physical geography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-11-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9789401060684\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401060684\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4930-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 280cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 663\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358782451852,"sku":"9789401060684","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401060684.jpg?v=1755114212","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401060684","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
