Synopsis

This upper-level textbook relates the theory of plate tectonics, which revolutionized geology 20 years ago, to the study of sedimentation. Sedimentary basins are characterized by their position relative to the plate margin when deposition occurs, and each chapter in this book examines a different major basin type. This book should be useful for sedimentology students and researchers alike.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This new upper–level textbook relates the theory of plate tectonics, which revolutionized geology twenty years ago, to the study of sedimentation. Because sedimentary basins are characterized by their position relative to the plate margin when deposition occurs, each chapter in this book is organized by and examines a different major basin type. Written by acknowledged experts and edited by two of the most respected names in the field, this book will be invaluable for sedimentology students and researchers everywhere. Relates tectonics to the study of sedimentation. All the authors have taken a broad–based, multidisciplinary approach. Separate chapters on each of the major basin types.
