Advances in marine geophysics and plate tectonics were rapidly transforming scientists’ understanding of continental margins, while the offshore petroleum industry was expanding into the North Sea and surrounding waters. Books such as this preserve a snapshot of that intersection between fundamental geological research and humanity's accelerating search for fossil-fuel resources—before the atmospheric consequences of their large-scale combustion were broadly understood by the public.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, it can be appreciated as a historical record of how geologists mapped and interpreted the submerged geology of northwestern Europe during a formative period in modern geoscience, rather than simply as a guide to resource exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeology of the North-West European Continental Shelf, Volume 1\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eD.
