Peat depositional environments, the sites where and conditions under which peat
accumulates, significantly influence a resultant coal's physical properties, chemical …

Ancient fluvial valley systems are long recognized as important features in the stratigraphic
record, but emerged as a specific focus of attention with publication of first-generation …

The recurrence of the same types of sequence stratigraphic surface through geologic time
defines cycles of change in accommodation or sediment supply, which correspond to …

Stratal stacking patterns provide the basis for the definition of all units and surfaces of
sequence stratigraphy. The same types of stacking patterns may be observed at different …

Icehouses are the less common climate state on Earth, and thus it is notable that the longest-
lived (c. 370 to 260 Ma) and possibly most extensive and intense of icehouse periods …

It has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book. Much
progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original ideas of Sloss and of …

Economic geology is a mixtum compositum of all geoscientific disciplines focused on one

The Cenozoic fill of the Gulf of Mexico basin contains a continuous record of sediment
supply from the North American continental interior for the past 65 million years. Regional …

Abstract Ten Barnett Shale lithofacies have been recognized in a 223-ft (68-m)-long core
from Johnson County, Texas. Eight of these lithofacies match those previously identified in …

The architecture of sedimentary basins reflects the relationship between accommodation
space and sediment supply, their rates and localization being variable during basin …
