Terrigenous Clastic Depositional Systems

Beschreibung

This second edition of Terrigenous Clastic Depositional Systems bridges the gap between process-related outcrop studies of sedimentary rocks and the three-dimensional subsurface world of the mineral fuel geologist and hydrogeologist. It remains unique in its focus on the application of subsurface facies analysis to problems of petroleum, coal, uranium, and ground water resource discovery, delineation, and production. The text and figures have been rewritten and updated. New chapters summarize applications of sequence stratigraphy to facies analysis and the use of detailed facies interpretation in reservoir and aquifer characterization.
The book deals with clastic sedimentation (mainly sandstones) in relation to mineral and fuel deposits and hydrology. The second edition has been completely revised and updated and two new chapters have been included.
