Advances in Geophysics, Tectonics and Petroleum Geosciences: Proceedings of the 2nd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-2), Tunisia 2019

This edited book is based on the best papers presented at the 2nd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-2), held in Tunisia in 2019. It covers a wide range of geological and geophysical topics, with a focus on the Middle East, Mediterranean region, and Africa. The book presents research methods for measuring, quantifying, and analyzing various geological domains, including seismic hazard and risk assessment, earthquake geodesy, seismotectonics, archeoseismology, well logging methods, geodesy and exploration/theoretical geophysics, petroleum geochemistry, petroleum engineering, structural geology, basement architecture, and potential data. The multidisciplinary approaches and investigations of potential natural resource zones contribute to a more sustainable economic development.

This edited book is a comprehensive compilation of the finest papers presented at the 2nd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-2), held in Tunisia in 2019. It serves as a valuable resource for all researchers engaged in geophysics, seismology, structural geology, and petroleum geology. Spanning a wide range of geological and geophysical topics, with a particular focus on the Middle East, Mediterranean region, and Africa, this book showcases a diverse array of research methods employed in measuring, quantifying, and analyzing various geological domains.

The book begins with a dedicated subsection presenting the latest research studies on seismic hazard and risk assessment in Africa, conducted during the 2019 IGCP-659 meeting, which was co-organized alongside the CAJG-2. This section highlights the latest advancements in understanding seismic risks in the African continent.

Following this, the book encompasses a diverse range of topics, including earthquake geodesy, seismotectonics, archeoseismology, active faulting, well logging methods, geodesy and exploration/theoretical geophysics, petroleum geochemistry, petroleum engineering, structural geology, basement architecture and potential data, tectonics and geodynamics, and thermicity, petroleum, and other georesources. Each section provides in-depth insights into fundamental questions related to the genesis and evolution of our planet, drawing upon data collection and experimental investigations conducted under physical constitutive laws.

By employing multidisciplinary approaches and integrating geodynamic insights with investigations of potential natural resource zones (petroleum reservoirs), this edited book contributes to a more sustainable economic development. It serves as a valuable reference for scholars, researchers, and professionals seeking to advance their knowledge in the field of geosciences.
