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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Over the past decade, hydrocarbon production from shale oil reservoirs has become
increasingly common, and successful shale oil exploration and development depends …

The interplay of local and global controls on accommodation and sedimentation generates
basin-specific sequence stratigraphic frameworks that record cyclicity at multiple scales …

Both allogenic and autogenic processes may contribute to the formation of sequence
stratigraphic surfaces, particularly at the scale of fourth-order and lower rank cycles. This is …

First reported in the 1960s, offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) has now been
documented in most continental margins around the world. In this review we compile a …

Stratigraphic sequences and architectural variability in the Late Eocene lacustrine strata of
the Dongying Depression, eastern China, were investigated using the interpretation of 2-D …
