| Summary | The geological evolution of Central Asia commenced with the formation of a complex Precambrian-Palaeozoic orogen. Complex evolution resulted in the present-day setting of an elongated Tien Shan range flanked by large Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary basins with smaller intramontane basins distributed within the range. This volume presents multidisciplinary results and reviews from research groups in Europe and Central Asia that focus on the western part of the Tien Shan and some of the adjacent large sedimentary basins. These works elucidate the Late Palaeozoic-Cenozoic tectono-sedimentary evolution of the area. Emphasis is given to the collision of terranes and continents and the ensuing fault reactivations. The impact of climatic changes on sedimentation is also examined. |
