[edit] APPLIED SEDIMENTOLOGY
A revised edition of a text on applied sedimentology. Like its precursor, it describes sediments from sand grains to sedimentary basins. It discusses the concept of the sedimentary cycle, the transportation and deposition of sediment, and the different types of sedimentary basin.
This is a completely revised edition of the bestselling Applied Sedimentology, first published in 1988. Like its precursor, it describes sediments from sand grains to sedimentary basins. Part 1, Rock to Sediment, introduces the concept of the sedimentary cycle, describes weathering and soil formation, and the fundamental physical properties of a sediment: texture, porosity and permeability. Part 2, Sediment Sedimented, begins by describing the transportation and deposition of sediment, and the resultant sedimentary structures. Part 3, Sediment to Rock, opens by describing how pressure, temperature and fluid processes control petroleum and ore formation. The last chapter describes the different types of sedimentary basin, their origins, depositional fill, and the evolution of their fluids. The book emphasises the applications of sedimentology to the exploration for and exploitation of natural resources, including water, ores and hydrocarbons. Applied Sedimentology is principally written for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of earth science and engineering, but it can also serve as a reference for professionals who explore and exploit the sedimentary rocks for fossil fuels and mineral deposits. Features: * Completely revised from the first edition * Describes sedimentary processes, products and depositional systems * Extensively illustrated with photos and remotely sensed sea bed images * Up-to-date account and critique of sequence and cyclostratigraphy * Colour plates illustrate sediment textures, lithologies, pore types, diagenetic textures, and carbonate and clastic sequence stratigraphic models * Emphasises the applications of sedimentology to the exploration for and exploitation of natural resources, including water, ores and hydrocarbons * Extensive reference and up-to-date selected bibliography for further study
