Bücher von Andrew D. Miall

A Comprehensive review of modern stratigraphic methods. Modern stratigraphic methods are now able to provide insights into past geological events and processes on time scales with unprecedented accuracy and precision, and have added much to our understanding of global tectonic and climatic processes.

Review of the second edition "For geologists and geophysicists studying sedimentary fill of basins, this volume is a valuable addition to their shelves. The book is packed with informationincludes numerous lists of references, and is up-to-date. As a source volume, this book is second to none. It is clear and well organized." GEOPHYSICS

This book situates sequences within the broader context of geological processes so that geoscientists are equipped to extract the maximum information from the record of sequences in a given basin or region. It is essential reading for professional geologists.

The first part of the book, following a historical introduction, constructs the strati- graphic framework of fluvial deposits, step by step, starting with lithofacies, combining these into architectural elements and other facies associations, and then showing how these, in turn, combine to represent distinctive fluvial styles.
