Abstract
The Mediterranean region represents a complex mosaic of continental, microcontinental and ophiolitic terranes, whose overall evolution has been controlled by relative movements between the African and Eurasian plates. Palaeomagnetic studies have played an important part in unravelling this 3D puzzle. The volume illustrates the increasingly diverse range of tectonic, magnetostratigraphic, volcanological and archaeological problems being addressed through palaeomagnetic research within the Mediterranean realm. There are 32 papers (abstracted separately) and 1 extended abstract, which span the full width of the Mediterranean basin, and present results from Permian to Quaternary rocks. A glossary of basic palaeomagnetic and rock magnetic terms is provided. -from Editors
