Tectonics, magmatism and crustal structure of Mexico
Main Article Content
Abstract
Since its establishment and subsequent development in the decade 1980-1989, the International Lithosphere Program (ILP) has been an important addition to international earth science research, having accomplished anambitious program and promoted numerous initatives. The increasing awareness of global cycles, feed-back mechanisms, non-linear processes, etc have lead to the emergence of programs such as the Geosphere-Biosphere (IGBP), Global Change and Earth System Programs. Many phenomena in the diverse fields that link the various earth systems, which had been previously studied as separate entities of the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, are now being investigated within an integrated framework. The conjunction of solid earth, atmospheric, ocean and biological sciences that include: geophysics, geology, geochemistry, atmospheric sciences, biology, ecology, environmental sciences, oceanography, and many others fields will provide a global paradigm.
