The recurrence of the same types of sequence stratigraphic surface through geologic time defines cycles of change in accommodation or sediment supply, which correspond to …
In an earlier book, The Geology of Fluvial Deposits (1996), I set out in detail modern methods of facies and architectural analysis of fluvial deposits, and used numerous case …
Sedimentary rocks contain the most important archive of environmental change through earth history. They record changing climates, the movement of plates, and the rise and fall of …
