Global Sedimentology of the Ocean, Vol 3. Developments in Marine Geology

Elsevier Science and Technology, October 2008, Pages: 496

This book provides an update of synthetic information in marine sedimentology, associating generalities to case studies. New information is replaced in a context of plate tectonics and evolution of ocean systems at geological scale. Besides general information, the book insists on the relationships between plate tectonics and sedimentation, as well as on the formation and evolution of sediment series and their potential as archives of past environments.
