This new textbook is a modern look at key concepts of sedimentology. With lavish, colorful, and abundant illustrations and easy-to-understand explanations, the book focuses on the concepts required to understand physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of sedimentary rocks and the processes involved in their formation. This includes the transportation, deposition, and transformation of sediments. It also emphasizes how the understanding of sedimentary rocks can be used to interpret all continental, marginal marine, and deep-water oceanic environments. Written with undergraduate-level students in mind, it serves as a primary textbook for the new generation of students.

Features

Fully up-to-date coverage, using the latest studies in the field of sedimentology. Many colorful illustrations to facilitate the understanding of key concepts. Explanations that are jargon-free and easy to understand for the undergraduate-level reader. Examples to interpret ancient environmental conditions in sediment source areas and depositional sites

Written by an experienced researcher and academic who has taught the course at different universities and countries for over 20 years, Fundamentals of Sedimentology is an excellent resource for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students studying Geology, Geomorphology, Physical Geology, and Geography, and it serves as a great reference for entry-level researchers who work in the same fields.
