{"product_id":"contributions-to-modern-and-ancient-tidal-sedimentology-isbn-9781119218371","title":"Contributions to Modern and Ancient Tidal Sedimentology","description":"Tidal deposits have been a specific research topic for about 40 years, and whilst this has resulted in a proliferation of papers in scientific journals, there have only been a few book-length syntheses. Over the years, tidal sedimentology has been reinforced by fluid mechanics and numerical modelling but has remained rooted in facies and stratigraphic studies. Recent developments in tidal sedimentology lean toward a more quantitative assessment of the imprint of tides in the facies record of intertidal and shallow subtidal areas. They highlight the increasing relevance of tidal deposits studies, from high resolution subsurface reservoir geology to climate change and sea-level rise. This volume gathers 17 contributions to the Tidalites 2012 congress held in Caen, France. It reflects current advances in the sedimentology and stratigraphy of tidal deposits, in both ancient and modern environments. It shows the current diversity of this field of research, through a wide spectrum of methods including remote sensing, in-situ hydrodynamical measurements, and ichnology, in addition to classic field studies and petrography. \u003cp\u003eList of Contributors vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributions to Modern and Ancient Tidal Sedimentology: an introduction to the volume 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBernadette Tessier and Jean-Yves Reynaud\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHydrodynamic modelling of salinity variations in a semi‐engineered mangrove wetland: The microtidal Frog Creek System, Florida 5\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJicai Zhang, Dongdong Chu, Ping Wang, Joseph Hughes and Jun Cheng\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTemporal changes in river‐mouth bars from L‐band SAR images : A case study in the Mekong River delta, South Vietnam 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAkiko Tanaka, Katsuto Uehara, Toru Tamura, Yoshiki Saito, Van Lap Nguyen and Thi Kim Oanh Ta\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDoes the Ichnogis method work?
