From the reviews:
„It provides the current state-of-the-art on the geodynamic architecture and history of the Mediterranean region … . The TRANSMED Atlas is a very interesting work for those who are working in the Mediterranean and are in need of a concise overview of the current ideas on the geodynamic evolution of this particular region. … A great asset of this atlas is the extensive, up-to-date reference list. The atlas is very well illustrated. The CD-ROM is, moreover, very user friendly.“ (Manuel Sintubin, Geologica Belgica, Vol. 8 (3), 2005)
The TRANSMED Atlas. The Mediterranean Region from Crust to Mantle
Geological and Geophysical Framework of the Mediterranean and the Surrounding Areas
herausgegeben von William Cavazza, Francois M. Roure, Wim Spakman, Gerard M. Stampfli und Peter A. ZieglerThe 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.
