Produktinformationen zu „Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins (ePub)“
The sedimentary record on Earth stretches back more than 4.3
billion years and is present in more abbreviated forms on companion
planets of the Solar System, like Mars and Venus, and doubtless
elsewhere. Reading such planetary archives correctly requires
intimate knowledge of modern sedimentary processes acting within
the framework provided by tectonics, climate and sea or lake level
variations. The subject of sedimentology thus encompasses the
origins, transport and deposition of mineral sediment on planetary
surfaces.
The author addresses the principles of the subject from the
viewpoint of modern processes, emphasising a general science
narrative approach in the main text, with quantitative background
derived in enabling 'cookie' appendices. The book ends
with an innovative chapter dealing with how sedimentology is
currently informing a variety of cognate disciplines, from the
timing and extent tectonic uplift to variations in palaeoclimate.
Each chapter concludes with a detailed guide to key further reading
leading to a large bibliography of over 2500 entries. The book is
designed to reach an audience of senior undergraduate and graduate
students and interested academic and industry professionals.

Autoren-Porträt von Mike R. Leeder
Mike Leeder is Professor Emeritus at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, England. A geologist by training, at the University of Durham, he has researched and taught sedimentology since 1969, beginning as a graduate student at the Sedimentological Research Laboratory, University of Reading under the legendary Perce Allen and as faculty member at the Universities of Leeds and East Anglia. He is particularly interested in sedimentological fluid dynamics, basin analysis and the links between sedimentary processes and climate change.
