Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy

Mehr zum Buch

"This textbook provides a balanced coverage of all current models in the field of sequence stratigraphy. Alternative approaches as to how the sequence stratigraphic method should be applied to the rock record is examined from the perspective of a unifying platform, demonstrating that sufficient common ground exists to standardize sequence stratigraphy. A distinction is made between the fundamental core concepts, which are embraced by all 'schools', and the trivial aspects that are model-dependant. This work is not only a review of past and current literature, but also includes key original viewpoints and is illustrated with new graphic material and numerous field examples of outcrop, core, well-log and 3-D seismic data in full colour."--BOOK JACKET.
