Dear colleagues,
We would like to bring to your attention the Geological Society of London Special Publication 401: Volcanism and Tectonism Across the Inner Solar System.
This book is a compilation of 22 research articles and provides on overview and detailed analyses of volcanic and tectonic processes on terrestrial bodies. Below you find links to the GSL bookshop, the book's content for direct download of papers, the introductory chapter, and a brief description of the book.
Best wishes,
Thomas Platz, Matteo Massironi, Paul K. Byrne, and Harry Hiesinger

Description:
Volcanism and tectonism are the dominant endogenic means by which planetary surfaces change. This book aims to encompass the broad range in character of volcanism, tectonism, faulting and associated interactions observed on planetary bodies across the inner solar system – a region that includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars and asteroids. The diversity and breadth of landforms produced by volcanic and tectonic processes is enormous, and varies across the inner solar system bodies. As a result, the selection of prevailing landforms and their underlying formational processes that are described and highlighted in this volume are but a primer to the expansive field of planetary volcanism and tectonism. This Special Publication features 22 research articles about volcanic and tectonic processes manifest across the inner solar system.
