Results obtained in more than five years of research during the Upper Mantle Project were presented and discussed on the 5th Symposium on Continental Rift Systems held at Karlsruhe and are the subject of this book. Most of the papers deal with certain aspects of the Rhinegraben rift system in its broader sense but a few also with other continental rift structures. This might be justified not only because of the location where the meeting took place but mainly by the intensity with which the Rhinegraben had been investigated in past and present time in international and interdisciplinary cooperation. When in 1970 the book "Graben Problems", edited by J. H. Illies and St. Müller appeared it found quickly a wide distribution and appreciation. It was, therefore, felt by the Rhinegraben Research Group that the latest results at the end of the Upper Mantle Project should also be made available to a broader public. The title "Approaches to Taphrogenesis" expresses the aim to look at large scale tension features in continental blocks from the view-point of the evolution, the appearance at the surface, and the deep seated processes and forces. Of interest to: Geologists, geophysicists, geodesists, mineralogists, petrologists, experts on mineral deposits, geographers, and their research institutes, mining and petroleum industry, scientific libraries.
