Geology of North Africa and the Mediterranean: Sedimentary Basins and Georesources

This book provides a comprehensive overview of sedimentary basins and georesources, particularly in Northern Africa and the Mediterranean, highlighting their evolution and significance.

The book Geology of North Africa and the Mediterranean: Sedimentary Basins and Georesources delves into the intricate connections between the evolution of sedimentary basins in Northern Africa and the Peri-Mediterranean regions. It explores these basins within various tectonic contexts, highlighting how their geological development influences the distribution of vital georesources. These resources encompass fossil energy, geothermal energy, deep aquifers, and various minerals and deposits, making this work essential for understanding resource availability in these areas.

In addition to providing a thorough examination of sedimentary basins, Geology of North Africa and the Mediterranean: Sedimentary Basins and Georesources also compiles selected papers from the Atlas Georesources International Congress held in Hammamet, Tunisia, in 2017. These contributions have been expanded to include insights from geoscientists associated with universities and companies in the region. The book is organized into research studies that focus on the architecture, geodynamic evolution, and modeling of sedimentary basins across the Middle East, North Africa, and the Mediterranean domain.

Future exploration for water, energy, and other georesources in these regions is crucial, and this book serves as a significant reference for geoscientists and companies alike. It defines the distribution and potential of these resources, offering key information that will aid in the understanding and utilization of georesources in Northern Africa and the Mediterranean.
