Chris Perry and Kevin Taylor. Environmental Sedimentology

4 edition, Pearson Prentice Hall, 2006, 662 pages A concise treatment of the fundamental principles of sedimentology and stratigraphy, featuring the important physical, chemical, biological and stratigraphic characteristics of sedimentary rocks. Emphasized are the ways in which the study of sedimentary rocks is used to interpret depositional environments, changes in ancient sea level, and other intriguing aspects of Earth history. Topics includ...

Саmbridge University Press, 2008, 815 pages This unique textbook brings together the traditional disciplines of sedimentology and geomorphology to explain Earth surface processes, landforms and sediment deposits in a comprehensive and integrated way. It is the ideal resource for a two-semester course in sedimentology, stratigraphy, geomorphology, and Earth surface processes from the intermediate undergraduate to beginning graduate level. The b...

Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2003, 649 pages Diagenesis affects all sediments after their deposition and includes a fundamental suite of physical, chemical and biological processes that control the texture, mineralogy and fluid-flow properties of sedimentary rocks. Understanding the processes and products of diagenesis is thus a critical component in the analysis of the evolution of sedimentary basins, and has practical implications for subsurface...

Chamley H. Clay Sedimentology, 1989. 589 p. Книга посвящена изучению осадочным глинам. Рассмотрены основные этапы формирования глинистых минералов и сложенных ими глинистых пород. Охватывается обширный фактический материал. Книга предлагается для геологов, литологов и студентов старших курсов как дополнительный справочный материал.

A John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. , Publication 2009, 432 pages This book has been written for students who are studying geology at university and it is intended to provide them with an introduction to sedimentology and stratigraphy. It is hoped that the text is accessible to those who are completely new to the subject and that it will also provide a background in concepts and terminology used in more advanced work. Introduction: sedimentology and...

Society for Sedimentary Geology, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74235, U.S.A. , 2005, p. 208 Sedimentology and stratigraphy are neighbors yet distinctly separate entities within the earth sciences. Put in a nutshell, sedimentology searches for the common traits of sedimentary rocks regardless of age as it reconstructs environments and processes of deposition and erosion from the sediment record. Stratigraphy, by contrast, concentrates on changes with time, on...

W. Schlager, Vrije Universiteit/Earth and Life Sciences De Boelelaan 1085, 1081 HV Amsterdam, Netherlands, 2002. p. 146. ISBN 90-806364-2-8 This booklet supports a short course in carbonate sedimentology. It is meant as a teaching aid, not a replacement of the course. Anybody using it for self-study should be prepared to occasionally consult an introductory textbook, such as F?chtbauer & Richter (1988), Jones & Desrochers (1992), Tucker...

Academic Press, 2 edition, 2000, 523 Pages, ISBN: 0126363757. There are three types of rock-igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary. Sedimentary rocks form from the weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition of older rocks. Applied Sedimentology describes the formation, transportation and deposition of sediment, and the post-depositional processes that change soft sediment into sedimentary rock. Sedimentary rocks include sandstones, limest...

Blackwell Scientific publications, 1988, p. 394. The techniques available for the study of sediments and sedimentary rocks form the focus of this book. While field aspects are included, greater emphasis is placed on the laboratory examination of sediments. Each chapter provides introductory background material and then proceeds to a discussion of technique, the equipment, and its limitations. A concluding section includes examples of how the tech...

Blackwell Science Ltd. , 2002. p.482. Carbonate rocks (limestones and dolomites) constitute a major part of the geological column and contain not only 60% of the world's known hydrocarbons but also host extensive mineral deposits. This book represents the first major review of carbonate sedimentology since the mid 1970's. It is aimed at the advanced undergraduate - postgraduate level and will also be of major interest to geologists working in th...
