"Rifting and sediments in the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf Regions presents studies on a range of topics related to the tectonics and geology of the Red Sea and Arabian (Persian) Gulf region. The book is a collection of invited and peer-reviewed chapters contributed by esteemed researchers in their respective fields, presenting new data, and including extensive lists of references. The topics covered in the book include the tectonics, magmatism, and lithology, particularly in the Red Sea area. The sediments and evaporites of the Red Sea and Gulf are also covered in some detail. As the area around the Arabian Peninsula is prone to earthquakes, the seismic hazard estimated in the Red Sea region is also covered by several chapters. With the ongoing debates regarding the structure of the Red Sea, the book serves as an excellent reference for researchers, and individuals interested in the geology of these two unique seas"--
