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 …

Clinoforms are inclined and normally basinward-dipping horizons developed over a range
of spatial and temporal scales in both siliciclastic and carbonatic systems. The study of …

浅水湖盆三角洲与一般三角洲具有明显的差异, 为弄清浅水三角洲的沉积特征和砂体分布规律,
以现代沉积, 地震属性反演和密井网区解剖, 确定了两种特征截然不同的浅水湖盆三角洲 …

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 …

Ichnology is the study of traces created in the substrate by living organisms. This is the first
book to systematically cover basic concepts and applications in both paleobiology and …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Some of the principles of tidal-wave theory and examples of mega-, macro-, meso-and
microtidal coasts are reviewed, as well as sedimentary successions showing general tidal …

Despite the obvious importance of sediment supply to shelf-margin architecture and to the
potential of margins to contain and bypass deep-water sands, the role of supply in shelf …
