The tectonic evolution of passive continental margins is naturally a topic of fundamental geological interest, but it also has implications for the exploration and development of oil and gas resources. In this volume, the editors (of the British Geological Survey, UK; StatoilHydro, US; and Durham U., UK) present ten papers from an international conference on "Compression deformation within passive margins: nature, causes, and effects," which was held at the Geological Society, London, UK, in October 2005. The proceedings include regional overview papers considering the fundamental driving mechanisms proposed to account for the generation, location, and orientation of post-breakup compressional structures; examining the post-breakup compression and uplift along the NE Atlantic margin and the Irish Sea; and exploring various pure and applied aspects of post-breakup tectonism in the West Iberia and Australia regions.
