Petrographic classifications of sand and sandstone proposed more than half a century ago
are still in use, although they were formulated at a time when depositional and post …

The classical approach to sandstone petrology, established in the golden years of plate
tectonics and based on the axiom that “detrital modes of sandstone suites primarily reflect …

This paper introduces provenance, a software package within the statistical programming
environment R, which aims to facilitate the visualisation and interpretation of large amounts …

Abstract Sediment Routing Systems (SRS) and Sediment Generation (SG) are two branches
of sedimentary geology which are complementary, although their full integration remains …

Interpreting the wealth of new data derived from the diverse suite of modern single-grain
provenance approaches available to a sedimentologist requires a thorough understanding …

In the last two centuries, since the dawn of modern geology, heavy minerals have been used
to investigate sediment provenance and for many other scientific or practical applications …

Sediments carried in suspension represent a fundamental part of fluvial transport.
Nonetheless, largely because of technical problems, they have been hitherto widely …

We often resort to mythical thinking in the face of natural phenomena that we hardly
understand. Sedimentary petrology has several long-standing myths. One is that sediments …

Geochemical parameters obtained from the analysis of sediments and sedimentary rocks
are widely used to infer weathering and paleo-weathering conditions in source areas …

Arid and semi arid northern China holds some of the world's most significant sand sea and
