Dabei werden die Prozesse der Bildung, des Transports und der Ablagerung von Sedimenten behandelt und auf die Entwicklung konzeptioneller Modelle für sämtliche Sedimentumgebungen ? von Wüsten über die Tiefsee und Riffe bis zu Flüssen ? angewandt. Für einen umfassenden Überblick über sämtliche Aspekte der Sedimentologie und Stratigraphie werden außerdem verschiedene Ansätze zur Nutzung stratigraphischer Prinzipien bei der Datierung und Korrelierung von Schichten betrachtet.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Die 3. Auflage wurde gründlich überarbeitet und aktualisiert. Dabei wurde die Kapitelgliederung so geändert, dass nun separate Abschnitte zur Geomorphologie und zur Stratigraphie für jede Sedimentumgebung vorhanden sind. Außerdem enthält die neue Ausgabe zusätzliche farbige Abbildungen.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Die wesentlichen Konzepte, die in Sedimentology and Stratigraphy eingeführt werden, umfassen u.a.:\u003cbr\u003e * Die Bedeutung von Veränderungen in der Pflanzen- und Tierwelt im Zeitverlauf und die Auswirkungen auf die Charakteristik des Sedimentumfelds im Meer und an Land\u003cbr\u003e * Die Unterscheidung zwischen modernen Umgebungen und dem, was in den Sedimentabfolgen erhalten geblieben ist, mit einer Betrachtung glazialerosionaler und von Ablagerungen geprägter Landformen\u003cbr\u003e * Heutige Wüstenumgebungen und äolische Ablagerungen in der stratigraphischen Abfolge\u003cbr\u003e * Fluviale Prozesse mit Mustern von Neben- und Verteilerkanälen unterschiedlicher Größenordnung und in verschiedenen Umgebungen\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Das Werk Sedimentology and Stratigraphy wurde von einem kenntnisreichen Autor mit umfangreicher Erfahrung auf dem Fachgebiet verfasst.

His research interests in the analysis of facies and sedimentary basins have taken him to every continent, providing experience of a wide range of sedimentary rock types of different ages in a variety of depositional settings. He currently designs training programmes for geoscientists working in the energy industry.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eComprehensive textbook on all aspects of sedimentology and stratigraphic principles\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSedimentology and Stratigraphy\u003c\/i\u003e introduces the reader to the subjects and provides tools for the interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rocks, covering the processes of formation, transport, and deposition of sediment and applying them to develop conceptual models for the full range of sedimentary environments, from deserts to deep seas and reefs to rivers. Different approaches to using stratigraphic principles to date and correlate strata are also considered to provide a comprehensive overview of all aspects of sedimentology and stratigraphy.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 3rd edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. The book is now divided into five sections, and the chapters on different depositional settings now provide distinct sections on modern processes and sedimentary rocks. The new edition also features a new set of diagrams and photographs in full colour. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey concepts introduced in \u003ci\u003eSedimentology and Stratigraphy\u003c\/i\u003e include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The importance of changes in plant and animal life through time and the effects on characteristics of both marine and continental sedimentary environments \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The distinction between modern environments and what is preserved in the sedimentary record \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e The role of changing climate, tectonic events and sediment supply in determining the characteristics of deposits in the stratigraphic record \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by a highly qualified author with abundant experience in the field, \u003ci\u003eSedimentology and Stratigraphy\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a highly accessible resource for students of geology and related subjects who seek to understand the formation, characteristics, and importance of sedimentary rocks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990000189669,"sku":"NP9781119417286","price":51.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119417286.jpg?v=1761786165","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/sedimentology-and-stratigraphy-isbn-9781119417286","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
