内容説明
A preparatory text covering the principles and applications of sedimentology and stratigraphy, this book uses modern examples of depositional environments and the ancient stratigraphic record. This edition offers updated technical information and a major reorganization of chapters to promote a greater clarity and emphasis on current topics. There are new approaches to the analysis of basins, including sequence stratigraphy. This book should be of use to undergraduates students of sedimentology and stratigraphy.
