This volume has evolved from papers written in memory of Professor David Roberts. They summarize the key findings of recent research on passive margins, from tectonics, bathymetry, stratigraphy and sedimentation, structural evolution and magmatism. Papers include analyses of the central and southern Atlantic margins of South America and Africa, papers on magmatism and extension in the NE Brazilian margin and on the Cote de Ivoire margin, rift architectures of the NW Red Sea margin, tectonics of the eastern Mediterranean margin, salt tectonics of passive margins of the Gulf of Mexico and Brazil, and papers on the NW Shelf margin of Australia. The volume provides readers with new insights into the complexities of passive margin systems that are in reality, not so passive.

The hydrocarbon prospects of the Triassic sequence of the Candace Terrace and Southwestern Preston Shelf (the eastern margin of the Barrow Sub-basin of the North West Shelf - W.A.) were investigated chiefly by seismic interpretation. The potential of the Triassic has been established in the Carnarvon Basin. There is incentive for further exploration of shelf areas following recent discoveries.
