Topics in Geosciences: Depositional Systems in the Rock Record
Topics in Geosciences: Depositional Systems in the Rock Record
Description
Topics in Geosciences is for anyone interested in understanding the analytical methods applied to both modern and ancient depositional systems. Learn how to identify sedimentary processes, assess their variability and magnitude, and relate them to fundamental controlling factors such as environment, climate, morphology, and sediment supply. Develop the skills to interpret ancient depositional processes and environments based on the analysis of sedimentary features observed in outcrop or subsurface stratal successions--and learn how to effectively communicate the significance of depositional systems to both geoscientists and engineers when tackling multidisciplinary challenges in the geosciences.
