Earth Structures

The aim of the Report is to focus on the role of the Antarctic continent and the surrounding Southern Ocean in global geodynamics and paleoenvironmental evolution. Articles arranged in eight thematic sections refer to most recent geological and geophysical results of Antarctic research. The Precambrian of the East Antarctic shield and its geological history is considered as well as sub-ice topography, geophysics and stratigraphy, sedimentology and geophysics of the surrounding Southern Ocean.

The rammed earth technique, in all its variants, is widespread all over the world. This enormously prevalent building technique harbours an important richness of varieties both in application and in materials used. Interventions on historical rammed earth buildings have also been carried out in all the geographical areas where these structures are found.

This book presents a comprehensive review of applications of geophysical and geological results to the dynamic processes of Earth’s crustal evolution.
