Full title: Jurassic–Paleogene Tectonic Evolution of the North American Cordillera
Editors: Stacia M. Gordon, Robert B. Miller, Margaret E. Rusmore, and Basil Tikoff
This volume contains recent data and models pertaining to the Jurassic–Paleogene tectonic evolution of the North American Cordillera. It provides open discussion of a range of tectonic models, such as oblique convergence and terrane translation, flat-slab subduction, native versus allochthonous arcs, and the new data that support and/or refute them. The chapters reflect the diversity of scientists addressing the complex tectonic history of the North American Cordillera using a variety of methods (e.g., tomography to field geology) that are applied to either the entire system or specific locations from Alaska to Mexico.
