Sedimentology & Stratigraphy
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Sedimentology and Stratigraphy is the first introductory text to relate sedimentological units to the larger stratigraphic picture. Representing the current research priorities, it leaves behind an older, and now outdated, generation of textbooks. The author's aim is to consider the Earth in terms of its physical environments, to describe the processes which affect generation, transport and deposition of sediment, and to build up a picture of the stratigraphy generated by these processes. The initial treatment is geomorphological, and the general approach non-mathematical. This will become the introductory textbook of choice in sedimentology and stratigraphy.
