The Arabian Plate displays a well-preserved, almost continuous geological record of the last one billion years of Earth’s history and consequently provides a natural laboratory for the study of a wide variety of geological processes. The region is also endowed with major hydrocarbon and mineral resources of global importance. An understanding of the geology and tectonics across the region is essential for the future exploration and production of these resources and for investigating the geological options for carbon capture and storage in the region, which has a significant role to play in the energy transition. This volume provides significant new data on the geology, tectonics and natural resources of the Arabian Plate and its surroundings. A diverse range of papers is presented, offering new data, ideas and review articles on the geology and tectonics of Arabia and adjacent areas covering the Neoproterozoic to present-day.
