Advancing Frontiers in Geology and Geophysics is a comprehensive compilation of landmark research and contemporary studies in the fields of geology, geophysics, and mineralogy. Bringing together contributions from leading scientists and researchers worldwide, the book covers a wide spectrum of topics—from the structure and evolution of the Earth's crust and upper mantle, continental drift, and seafloor spreading, to detailed studies on mineralogy, petrology, and metallogenesis.

The volume addresses fundamental and applied aspects of the Earth sciences, including seismic studies, Bouguer gravity anomalies, magnetic anomalies, elastic properties of rocks, phase equilibrium of minerals, and petrochemistry of various igneous and metamorphic formations. Specific regional studies, such as the geological structures of India, Swedish kimberlites, and Tertiary igneous provinces of Britain, enrich the text with localized insights while illustrating global patterns in crustal evolution and mineral deposits.

Designed for geologists, geophysicists, mineralogists, and Earth science researchers, this book also serves as an essential reference for students and academicians. Its blend of theoretical discussion, empirical research, and historical perspectives makes it a valuable resource for understanding both classical concepts and modern advances in Earth sciences.
