Earth-surface processes operate across erosionally dominated landscapes and deliver
sediment to depositional systems that can be preserved over a range of timescales. The …

Ancient fluvial valley systems are long recognized as important features in the stratigraphic
record, but emerged as a specific focus of attention with publication of first-generation …

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 …

The source-to-sink (S2S) concept is focused on quantification of the various components of
siliciclastic sedimentary systems from initial source sediment production areas, through the …

Stratigraphy is defined as the study of layered rocks. In the context of sedimentary geology in
general, and of this book in particular, stratigraphy is the discipline that pulls everything …

In sand-bedded rivers, dunes dominate sediment transport and flow resistance. Dunes are
also commonly preserved in fluvial deposits as cross-stratified units that record their size …

Crevasse-splay deposits form a volumetrically significant component of many fluvial
overbank successions (up to 90% in some successions). Yet the relationships between the …

An important discussion has recently called the attention of sedimentologists and
geomorphologists to the dominant fluvial styles preserved in the geological record. While …

The extent of lithofacies variability in fine-grained sedimentary rocks is very poorly known in
comparison to that present in coarser grained clastic and carbonate successions. The …

The sequence-bounding unconformity bears the key defining traits of being “a surface
separating younger from older strata, along which there is evidence of subaerial erosional …
