Michael Johnson is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and taught structural geology and tectonics in the University of Edinburgh for forty years. He has undertaken research on orogenic belts in many parts of the world ¿ Scotland, North America, the Alps and the Himalayas ¿ and has continued his researches since his retirement in 1997. Dr Johnson has written over 80 papers, co-edited and contributed to several books, and organised and given keynote lectures at many international conferences. For many years he was on the editorial board of Tectonophysics and has served on international committees such as IGCP.
Preface
1. Major features of the Earth and plate tectonics
2. Driving mechanisms for plates, slab retreat and advance, a reason for orogenesis
3. Physical and chemical principles: rock deformation and heat production in the lithosphere
4. Large scale features of orogenic belts: thrusts, folds, orogenic wedges
5. Evolution of orogens
6. Lateral spreading of orogens: foreland propagation, channel flow and weak zones in the crust
7. Orogenic metamorphism
8. The erosion, uplift and exhumation of orogens
9. The sedimentary history of foreland basins
10. Deep structure: the support of mountains and the importance of phase changes
11. Mountains and climate
12. Precambrian orogenesis
References
