Earth-surface processes operate across erosionally dominated landscapes and deliver
sediment to depositional systems that can be preserved over a range of timescales. The …

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 …

In an earlier book, The Geology of Fluvial Deposits (1996), I set out in detail modern
methods of facies and architectural analysis of fluvial deposits, and used numerous case …

Experimental modelling applied to the study of orogenic wedge dynamics has been a
subject of fruitful research for more than 30years, although the technique dates back as far …

Restoration of river deltas involves diverting sediment and water from major channels into
adjoining drowned areas, where the sediment can build new land and provide a platform for …

Climate, tectonics, and life influence the flux and caliber of sediment transported across
Earth's surface. These environmental conditions can leave behind imprints in the Earth's …

This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology,
geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth …

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 …

Internally generated, or autogenic, terrestrial and marine sediment-transport dynamics can
produce depositional patterns similar to those associated with climatic, tectonic, or sea level …

Autogenic processes contribute noise to sediment transport systems that can degrade or
mask externally derived environmental signals and hinder our ability to reconstruct past …
