Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins: From Turbulence to Tectonics Paperback - 1999 - 1st Edition

by Mike R. Leeder


From the publisher

Sedimentology is a core discipline of earth and environmental sciences. It enquires the origins, transport and deposition of mineral sediment on the Earth's surface. The subject is a link between positive effects arising from the building of relief by tectonics and the negative action of denudation in drainage catchments and tectonic subsidence in sedimentary basins.

The author addresses the principles of the subject, emphasising the advantages of a general science approach and the importance of understanding modern processes. Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins is not an encyclopaedia, but attempts to stimulate interdisciplinary thought across the whole subject area and related disciplines. The book has been designed to meet the needs of earth and environmental science undergraduates.

First line

Sedimentology, the study of transport and deposition of sediment, provides information for geologists to interpret sedimentary rocks.
