Book excerpt: This Atlas of data on the Continental Crust is the product of more than five years of field work, processing and interpretation assembled by the DEKORP-research group (DEKORP = Deutsches Kontinentales Reflexionsseismisches Programm). It is meant to provide the reader with a concise and complete overview of the DEKORP lines and their results, deliberately avoiding extensive geological or tectonic interpretations. It will leave the reader space and freedom for his individual interpretation or vision. The labels accompanying each section are self-explanatory regarding the field parameters and the most important processing steps. All the displays were produced and arranged by DEKORP's processing center in Clausthal-Zellerfeld.
