Contents:
Introduction -- The facies and architecture of fluvial systems -- Allogenic sedimentary controls -- Sequence stratigraphy -- Modern depositional systems -- Ancient depositional systems.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: The book summarizes methods of mapping and interpretation of fluvial depositional systems, with a detailed treatment of the tectonic, climatic and eustatic controls on fluvial depositional processes. It focuses on the preserved, ancient depositional record and emphasizes large-scale (basin-scale) depositional processes. Tectonic and climatic controls of fluvial sedimentation and the effects of base-level change on sequence architecture are discussed. Profusely illustrated and with an extensive reference to the recent literature, this book will be welcomed by the student and professional geologist alike.
