The evolution of a sedimentary basin's gross morphology depends upon (1) basement
movement,(2) sediment accumulation and compaction, and (3) variations of eustasy with …

Advances in sequence stratigraphy and the development of depositional models have
helped explain the origin of genetically related sedimentary packages during sea level …

As the search for oil and gas becomes more sophisticated and producing basins and fields
become more intensely developed, geoscientists need correspondingly more accurate …

This unique book presents an overview of isostasy, a phenomenon of fundamental
