This 446-page volume disseminates the results and ideas arising from the 95th Dahlem Conference, held in January 2005 and titled The Dynamics of Fault Zones. The week-long workshop brought together 41 scientists with expertise in subjects including geochemistry, geodesy, hydrothermal processes, metamorphic geology, neotectonics, numerical modelling, seismology, solid-earth geophysics, structural geology, surface processes and tectonics. The book comprises 14 original papers that encompass the four themes of the meeting: (1) nucleation and growth of fault systems; (2) rheology of . . . [Full Text of this Article]
