Introduction -- Flood Basalt Landscapes -- Morphology and Architecture of Flood Basalt Lava Flows and Sequences -- Structures formed during Transport, Inflation, and Degassing of Flood Basalt Lavas -- Structures formed during Cooling and Solidification of Flood Basalt Lavas -- Subaqueous Flood Basalt Volcanism, Volcanosedimentary Associations, and Lava-Sediment Interaction -- Explosive Volcanism in Flood Basalt Provinces -- The Intrusive Sub-structure of Flood Basalt Provinces -- Igneous Processes and Magmatic Diversity in Flood Basalt Provinces -- Tectonic Deformation of Flood Basalt Provinces -- Secondary Mineralization in Flood Basalts -- Weathering and Erosion of Flood Basalt Provinces -- Glossary of Terms -- References Cited -- Suggested Reading -- Flood Basalt Index -- Author Index. .

This unique book presents hundreds of spectacular photographs of large-scale to small-scale field geological features of flood basalt volcanism from around the world. Major flood basalt provinces covered in this book include the British Palaeogene, Central Atlantic Magmatic Province, Columbia River, Deccan, East Greenland, Emeishan, Ethiopian, Ferrar-Karoo-Tasmania, Iceland, Indo-Madagascar, Paraná, Siberian, West Greenland, and others. Intermediate- to small-sized flood basalts (such as Saudi Arabia and South Caucasus) are also included. Different chapters of the book illustrate varied features of flood basalts, including landscapes, lava flow morphology and stacking, structures formed during lava flow transport, inflation and degassing, structures produced during lava solidification, subaqueous volcanism and volcanosedimentary associations, explosive volcanism, intrusions, igneous processes and magmatic diversity, tectonic deformation, secondary mineralization, and weathering and erosion. This book will be valuable for a large audience: specialists studying flood basalt volcanology, petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, geophysics, and environmental impact and mass extinction links; nonspecialists who want to know more about flood basalts; field geologists (such as those working in geological surveys); students of volcanology and igneous petrology, and even people employed in the industry, such as those working on flood basalt-hosted groundwater or petroleum reservoirs.
