The American Geophysical Union has accepted a proposal
for a monograph tentatively titled 'The Central Atlantic Magmatic Province'
that will be published in late 2001 or early 2002. This proposal
and resulting monograph are based on the theme of an American Geophysical
Union symposium held in the Spring of 1999 (see EOS Transactions, vol.
80, no. 17, pages 316-317; or click on AGUabstracts).
We wish to foster development of a book containing papers
that explore the development and manifestations of the CAMP from an interdisciplinary
context, including perspectives from tectonics, geophysics, geochemistry
and petrology, geochronology, stratigraphy, paleontology, and climate-change
processes. As the CAMP has only recently been recognized as a large
igneous province, there is no single published work that defines the nature
of the CAMP and explores its tectonic, geophysical, and possible climatic
effects. Considering the scale of the CAMP, the alternative mechanisms
for explaining its origin, and its apparent coincidence with one of Earth's
most profound mass extinctions, there is a need in the general scientific
community for a single book that summarizes our present knowledge about
the CAMP. Our goals in organizing such a volume are to providea single,
integrated source for papers that: 1) briefly summarize and describe the
CAMP and its plausible relationship to the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction;
2) define the extent, composition, duration, and tectonic setting of
the CAMP with a series of topical papers; and, 3) develop the various geodynamic
and climate models that can account for the origin and effects of the CAMP.
All manuscripts will follow a standard peer-review process,
as would regular submissions to the journal Tectonics (see the AGU website
instructions
for contributors or contact the editor for instructions on preparing
manuscripts for AGU monographs). Further information and future updates
for this volume will be sent to you via email or regular mail and included
in this CAMP website.
Sincerely,
Willis E. Hames
