Abstract
AbstractDrilling, 3D seismic and deep seismic studies in recent years have significantly progressed our knowledge of continental margins. Some of the key studies are brought together in this volume, focusing on the evolution and architecture of transform faults and transform margins, giving special attention to the relationship, and differences, between transform and rift margins. Papers from a wide range of global settings consider thermal history, depositional regime, hydrocarbon prospectivity and (in a continental setting) geothermal potential. This scene-setting paper examines our current state of knowledge on transform and rift settings, and provides a brief introduction to the subject matter and context of the papers in the volume.
