Abstract
This special issue contains papers that grew out of the American Geophysical Union Symposium “Models for motion of North America and plates of the Pacific basin, and the tectonic history of the western Cordillera—a search for correlations.” This symposium was held in San Francisco on December 13 and 14, 1982. Forty‐two papers were presented on such diverse topics as plate motion and microplate accretion histories, paleomagnetism of Cordilleran terranes and their displacement histories, the volcanic and plutonic history of the western Cordillera, and the timing of important geological episodes of regional extent (onset of extensional tectonics, onset and termination of episodes of strike slip faulting, etc.). Mechanisms of deformation within the Cordilleran continental margin were also discussed. The reader is referred to Eos Trans. AGU (vol. 63, no. 45, 1982) for the full set of abstracts.
