A Continent on the Move. New Zealand Geoscience Revealed. NEW.

Ian J. Graham, editor.

Containing contributions from 120 leading geoscientists, this beautifully illustrated volume explores important aspects of one of the most geologically dynamic regions of the Earth. The mostly submerged continent of Zealandia lies on the tectonic boundary of the Pacific and Australian plates and New Zealand is raised above the sea due to their collision, a process still underway. This is the second edition containing much new material added since the first edition, including on the Christchurch earthquakes of 2011. A very large heavy book.
