Description

This is the first volume in the English language to cover the entire range of the geology of Thailand since the joint Thai–US account by Brown et al. exactly 60 years ago. Over this period there has been a phenomenal growth in interest in this core area of SE Asia. This has been led by geologists in Thailand, but with important and highly significant input from geologists based elsewhere in Asia and in Europe, Australasia and North America. Some of that research was prompted by commercial considerations, since Thailand has important energy and mineral resources, while other research has sought to understand better the stratigraphic and structural history, including the plate-tectonic story which Thailand’s rocks reveal. This new volume seeks to bring together all of this knowledge into a single accessible book; it is the work of an international team drawn from Thailand, Japan, Australia, USA, Canada, Germany and the UK.

Also available in paperback.

Review by Thomas Hofmann
Review featured in Jahrbuch Der Geologischen Bundesanstalt Dec 2012

Numerous excellent figures and a long list of references at the end of each chapter make this book a standalone monograph for the next decades to all people who are interested in several geoscientific aspects of Thailand and even for SE Asia.
