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 …

The carbonate factories model, as defined at the beginning of the century, provides a
subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production‐systems based on the style of …

The Earth below ground is the subject of interest for many geophysical as well as geological
investigations. Even though most practitioners would agree that all available information …

Phosphorus is the central ingredient in fertilizer that allows modern agriculture to feed the
world's population. This element, also critical in a host of industrial applications, is a …

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

Mixed carbonate-siliciclastic systems are complex, and their development can sometimes be
difficult to understand, given the various responses to each sub-environment to specific …

The high-resolution sequence stratigraphy tackles scales of observation that typically fall
below the resolution of seismic exploration methods, commonly referred to as of 4th-order or …

Stratigraphic cyclicity can be observed at different scales. At each scale of observation (ie,
hierarchical level), the building blocks of the sequence stratigraphic framework are …

Stratigraphy is defined as the study of layered rocks. In the context of sedimentary geology in
general, and of this book in particular, stratigraphy is the discipline that pulls everything …

This review provides a synopsis of ongoing research and our understanding of the
fundamentals of sea-level change today and in the geologic record, especially as illustrated …
