Beschreibung
Sedimentary Environments is one of the most distinguishedand influential textbooks in the earth sciences published in thelast 20 years. The first and second editions both won universalpraise and became classic works in sedimentology. Since thepublication of the last edition, the study of sedimentaryenvironments and facies has made great strides, with major advancesin facies modelling, sequence stratigraphy and basin modelling. The3rd edition of this classic text will likely set the benchmark evenhigher, and needless to say, will continue being the textbook ofchoice for sedimentology students.
* * The latest edition of a classic text.
* Incorporates all the latest advances in dynamicstratigraphy.
* Will remain the textbook of choice for upper levelundergraduate and graduate students in sedimentology.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...definitely one of the best summaries and best written statements on the subject available today.... Every sedimentologist, stratigrapher, sedimentary petrologist and earth resources geologist should have a copy in their personal library." (Journal of Sedimentary Petrology)Weitere Details
