Composition, Structure and Dynamics of the Lithosphere-Asthenosphere System

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geodynamics Series

This volume is devoted to recent advances in investigating the Earth's crustal and mantle structure, its composition and dynamics. Many of the papers reflect the debate organized by the International Lithosphere Program (ILP) during the Moscow International Geological Congress (1980). Others stem from discussions within one working group (WG-9) and one coordinating committee (CC-5) of ILP.
