A PHOTOGRAPHIC ATLAS OF FLOOD BASALT VOLCANISM ...

This unique book presents hundreds of spectacular photographs of large-scale to small-scale
field geological features of flood basalt volcanism from around the world. Major flood basalt
provinces covered in this book include the British Palaeogene  Central Atlantic Magmatic
Province  Columbia River  Deccan  East Greenland  Emeishan  Ethiopian  Ferrar-Karoo-Tasmania 
Iceland  Indo-Madagascar  Paraná  Siberian  West Greenland  and others. Intermediate- to
small-sized flood basalts (such as Saudi Arabia and South Caucasus) are also included.
Different chapters of the book illustrate varied features of flood basalts  including
landscapes  lava flow morphology and stacking  structures formed during lava flow transport 
inflation and degassing  structures produced during lava solidification  subaqueous volcanism
and volcanosedimentary associations  explosive volcanism  intrusions  igneous processes and
magmatic diversity  tectonic deformation  secondary mineralization  and weathering and erosion.
This book will be valuable for a large audience: specialists studying flood basalt volcanology
petrology  geochemistry  geochronology  geophysics  and environmental impact and mass
extinction links  nonspecialists who want to know more about flood basalts  field geologists
(such as those working in geological surveys)  students of volcanology and igneous petrology 
and even people employed in the industry  such as those working on flood basalt-hosted
groundwater or petroleum reservoirs.
