A collection of papers, most of which were presented at a 1991 joint meeting of the Rocky Mountain–South-Central Sections of GSA, presenting recent research results on the Rio Grande rift, particularly its many prominent basins. There are contributions from most of the research groups now working on this topic. The papers cover a wide range of techniques and approaches but are all focused on the structure, stratigraphy, and tectonic setting of the rift and the basins that characterize it. The geographic coverage is also broad because the entire length of the rift is treated, as are several flanking features. The emphasis of the volume is on bettering our understanding of the nature and extent of the rift and of the timing of events during its evolution.
