“大陆边缘地质学研究”包含1981年由AAPG和得克萨斯大学地球物理研究所在得克萨斯州加尔维斯顿共同主办的一次研究会议的论文。在此期间，由于区域地震勘测以及有机地球化学等其他领域的质量和可用性有了重大改进，对大陆边地质学的认识迅速提高。这是第一次在地表以下相当深的地方对构造过程进行直观描述。提交了27份关于大陆边缘结构和地层实地调查的论文。研究的地理区域是全球性的，许多描述性结果来自于商业出版物中以前没有此类数据的地区的现代地震调查。其中15篇论文侧重于裂谷边缘，其他12篇涉及会聚边缘。12篇论文是对各种边缘环境过程的模型调查，涉及沉积环境、生物地层学、有机质沉积以及作为板块构造背景函数的油气赋存等主题。另有9篇论文模拟了沿着大陆边的构造发展所涉及的热力和机械构造过程。
"Studies in Continental Margin Geology" contains papers from a research conference co-sponsored by AAPG and the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics held in Galveston, Texas in 1981. Rapid advances in the understanding of continental margin geology were taking place during the time period, based on major improvements in the quality and availability of regional seismic surveys plus other fields such as organic geochemistry. For the first time it was becoming common to have a visual characterization of tectonic processes at significant depths below the surface. Twenty-seven papers are presented that deal with field investigations of continental margin structure and stratigraphy. The geographic areas of study are global in nature and many of the descriptive results are derived from modern seismic investigations in areas where that type of data had not previously been available in commercial publications. Fifteen of the papers focus on rifted margins and the other twelve concern convergent margins. Twelve papers are model investigations of a variety of margin environmental processes, related to subjects such as depositional environments, biostratigraphy, organic matter deposition, and oil and gas occurrences as a function of the plate tectonic setting. An additional nine papers model the thermal and mechanical tectonic processes involved in the structural development along continental margins.
