Morocco is one of the most fascinating lands in the world from
the point of view of its geological structure and evolution. Our
knowledge on the geology of the country has been greatly improved
during the last decades, based on numerous seismic profiles and
boreholes, seismological analysis of focal mechanisms, seismic
tomography, gravimetric/geodetic modelling and, on the other hand,
based on a big National Program of Geological Mapping including
modern geochemical analyses (trace elements) and reliable isotopic
datings (39Ar-40Ar, U-Pb zircon, Sm-Nd, etc). Moreover, a number of
academic studies have been performed in relation with the
increasing number of Moroccan universities.
Accordingly, there was an utmost urgency to undertake a new
treatise of Moroccan geology which could substitute for the
classical Elements de geologie marocaine, published in 1976 by A.
Michard in the Notes et Memoires du Service geologique du Maroc
(re-edited twice since 1976, with more than 6000 copies sold, and
translated in Japanese for engineers ). A new treatise has been
prepared between April 2006 and July 2007 under the coordination of
A. Michard, assisted by O. Saddiqi, and A. Chalouan, by a wide
panel of authors from Morocco, France or Belgium among the best
connoisseurs of the country. In order to emphasize the general
interest of the book, we finally retain the following title:
Continental Evolution: The Geology of Morocco. Structure,
Stratigraphy, and Tectonics of the Africa-Atlantic-Mediterranean
Triple junction.
The editing and production of this book was supported by the
following organisations:
The Geological Society of France (SGF)
The National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines of Morocco
(ONHYM)
The International Lithosphere Program (ILP)
