The 30th International Geological Congress was held in Beijing, China in August 1997. Leading scientists convened to present their findings and views to the international geological research community. Volume 5 of 26 focuses on contemporary lithospheric motion and seismic geology. All articles in the proceedings have been refereed and keynote papers have been included in Volume 1. These proceedings aim to present a view of contemporary geology and should be of interest to researchers in the geological sciences.
On global tectonics and its dynamics, Ma Zongjin; active faults and recent geodynamics of Eurasia, V. Trifonov et al; some remarks on seismotectonics and geodynamics of the Chinese continent, Ye Hong et al; crustal dynamics in the north and east margin of Qing-Zang (Tibet) Plateau, Xie Furen et al; evidence of neotectonic activity in the South Carolina coastal plain, P.
