Thrust belt research is on the increase, partly driven by a range of new modelling approaches and a well-connected community of active researchers. But in recent years a major motivation has been the increased exploration activity for oil and gas in thrust belts. In his recent review Cooper (2007) indicates that 14% of the World’s discovered hydrocarbon reserves are in thrust and fold belts. This makes for an insatiable market place and there is no shortage of thrust belt publications, chiefly arising from a steady stream of conferences. Olivier Lacombe and his co-editors’ volume Thrust Belts and Foreland Basins continues the trend. It arises from a three-day joint meeting of the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
