由美国地球物理联盟出版，作为地球物理专著系列的一部分，第179卷。这本多学科专著首次对北美最壮观的活动构造系统进行了现代综合总结。它包括地震学、构造学、地质学和大地测量学，包括总结知识状况的论文，包括不熟悉该地区的背景材料；使用阿拉斯加的数据解决全球假说；使用该地区的数据检验重要的全球假说。它围绕四个主要主题组织：阿留申弧俯冲和大地震、雅库塔特微板块从走滑到吸积和俯冲的转变、德纳利断层和相关构造及其在调节俯冲板块永久变形方面的作用、区域一体化和大规模模型以及利用阿拉斯加的数据来处理重要的全球性问题和假说。这本书的出版接近国家科学基金会的EarthScope项目的开始，这使得它特别及时，因为阿拉斯加可能是EarthScope足迹中最不被了解的地区，随着更多的EarthScope数据的获得，人们对该地区的兴趣预计会随着时间的推移而上升。
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 179. This multidisciplinary monograph provides the first modern integrative summary focused on the most spectacular active tectonic systems in North America. Encompassing seismology, tectonics, geology, and geodesy, it includes papers that summarize the state of knowledge, including background material for those unfamiliar with the region; address global hypotheses using data from Alaska; and test important global hypotheses using data from this region. It is organized around four major themes: subduction and great earthquakes at the Aleutian Arc, the transition from strike slip to accretion and subduction of the Yakutat microplate, the Denali fault and related structures and their role in accommodating permanent deformation of the overriding plate, and regional integration and large-scale models and the use of data from Alaska to address important global questions and hypotheses. The book's publication near the beginning of the National Science Foundation's EarthScope project makes it especially timely because Alaska is perhaps the least understood area within the EarthScope footprint, and interest in the region can be expected to rise with time as more EarthScope data become available.
