Produktinformationen zu „Deep Marine Systems / Wiley Works (ePub)“
Deep-water (below wave base) processes, although generally
hidden from view, shape the sedimentary record of more than 65% of
the Earth's surface, including large parts of ancient
mountain belts. This book aims to inform advanced-level
undergraduate and postgraduate students, and professional Earth
scientists with interests in physical oceanography and hydrocarbon
exploration and production, about many of the important physical
aspects of deep-water (mainly deep-marine) systems. The authors
consider transport and deposition in the deep sea, trace-fossil
assemblages, and facies stacking patterns as an archive of the
underlying controls on deposit architecture (e.g., seismicity,
climate change, autocyclicity). Topics include modern and ancient
deep-water sedimentary environments, tectonic settings, and how
basinal and extra-basinal processes generate the typical
characteristics of basin slopes, submarine canyons, contourite
mounds and drifts, submarine fans, basin floors and abyssal
plains.

Autoren-Porträt von Kevin T. Pickering, Richard N. Hiscott
Kevin T. Pickering is Professor of Sedimentology &Stratigraphy in the Department of Earth Sciences at University
College London, U.K. He has published ~140 peer-reviewed papers,
co-authored 6 books and edited 3 books on aspects of deep-water
sediments and global environmental issues. He managed the
industry-sponsored Ainsa Project, an integrated outcrop-subsurface
drilling project to understand deep-marine channels in the Spanish
Pyrenees, and has sailed on four international scientific drilling
expeditions (DSDP, ODP, IODP). In 2010, in recognition of his
research, Pickering was elected as a Fellow of the Geological
Society of America.
Richard N. Hiscott is an Emeritus Professor at Memorial
University of Newfoundland, Canada. His 40 years of
process-oriented research covers ancient deep-sea to alluvial
facies of Proterozoic to Cretaceous age, four Ocean Drilling
Program campaigns including Amazon submarine fan, Quaternary
sedimentology of the Labrador Sea, Santa Monica Basin, and the
Black Sea region including dynamics of the saline gravity current
that enters the low-salinity Black Sea through the Bosphorus
Strait.
