      abstract = {This book focuses on the evolution of sedimentary basins  of the Arabian Plate and its surroundings. Because these  sedimentary basins developed in various tectonic settings,  from extensional or transtensional to flexural,  transpressional or compressional, their sedimentary  sequences provide unique records of the regional geology.  Georesources of the Arabian Plate are also described here,  including petroleum potential, reservoirs, water resources,  fresh water and deep saline aquifers, as well as materials  and ore deposits. The book is made by a set of papers  authored by geoscientists working in both academia and  industry. Numerous chapters describe some regional  important geologic features and selected sedimentary basins  from the Middle East, North Africa and the Arabian  Peninsula domains. Other chapters focus on georesources. A  particular focus is given to the geology of Saudi Arabia.  This book is an important contribution to the geology of  the Arabian Peninsula and its surroundings. In view of the  strategic and economic importance of the regional geology  and georesources of the Arabian Plate and Surroundings,  this volume will constitute an important reference for a  wide range of geoscientists interested in the geology of  this region, especially those active in petroleum  geosciences and related industry. Ultimately, readers will  discover important thematic maps in this book.},
