This Geological Society Special Publication aims to address how and why deformation appears in narrow high strain zones – faults and shear zones – that cut the Earth’s crust and lithosphere. These are fundamental questions which should be of interest to geodynamicists, solid earth geophysicists and structural geologists. The inspiration for this volume was a session entitled ‘High-Strain Zones’ at the 2003 EGS–AGU–EUG meeting held in Nice, although not all the papers published here were presented at that meeting. The production standards are good, with high quality graphics including one foldout and four colour figures.

To cover such a broad topic in a single volume is ambitious. However, . . . [Full Text of this Article]
