The TRANSMED Atlas, w. CD-ROM

The TRANSMED Atlas, a CD-ROM-and-book package, provides an unprecedented overview of the geological and geophysical characteristics of the Mediterranean region. By integrating new and pre-existing data on surface geology, seismic profiles and mantle tomography (on land and at sea), it combines the efforts of sixty-two structural geologists, geophysicists, marine geologists, petrologists, sedimentologists, stratigraphers, paleo-geographers and petroleum geologists coming from eighteen countries and working for the petroleum industry, academia and other private and public institutions. The CD-ROM includes sixteen lithospheric transects across the Mediterranean region and adjacent areas. Each transect includes explanatory text with figures plus a series of clickable insets (seismic lines, well logs, litho-chrono-stratigraphic charts, paleo-geographic reconstructions, detailed maps, etc.) providing data in support of the interpretation shown in the transects.

Compilation of geophysical, petrological and geological data of the entire Mediterranean region by specialists along geotraverses Representation of data in a unified form Contains numerous color figures Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
