Sedimentology has neither been adequately popularized nor This book begins with a consideration of the complex end commonly taught as an interdisciplinary subject, and many product of processes and materials, the sedimentary environ- workers in the areas of modem environment studies have very ment.

The first edition of Practical Sedimentology contained dis- ACKNOWLEDGMENTS cussions of principles and techniques that could be applied to the analysis of sediments in the field and in laboratories sup- Colleagues at the University of Canterbury and the Univer- plied with inexpensive and commonly available equipment.

Modeling and simulation were introduced to the earth sciences about four decades ago.

Earth Sciences and Archaeology brings together contributions from an experienced group of archaeologists and geologists whose common objective is to present thorough and current reviews of the diverse ways in which methods from the earth sciences can contribute to archaeological research.

From the Preface: The chapters of this book contain contributions from an international group of specialists.

Sandstone Petroleum Reservoirs presents an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to the geology of sandstone oil and gas reservoirs.

Changes in sea level caused by global warming can be disastrous to modern civilization.

apparatus is generally not required for the making of My aim in this book is simple.

This volume is a compendium of papers on the subject, as noted in the book title, of modeling and mapping.

We wrote Sedimentology of Shale primarily because we lacked a handy, reasonably comprehensive source of information and ideas about shales for students in our sedimentology program.

Exchange of information in the field of earth sciences is increasingly needed to stay informed about advances.

The zone where land and sea meet is composed of a variety of complex environments.

The case history approach has an impressive record of success in a variety of disciplines.

The first symposium on sediment/freshwater interactions was held in Amsterdam, in 1976, and the second was held at Kingston, Ontario, Canada, in 1981.

Fjords are both an interface and a buffer between glaciated continents and the oceans.

Knowledge of basic clay microstructure is fundamental to an understanding of the physical, chemical, and mechanical properties of fine-grained sediments and rocks.

Because of the biological origin of many siliceous deposits, their geochemical transformation in the marine environment, and their occurrence in many formations around the world, oceanographers, paleontologists, geologists, geochemists, and sedimentologists are working closely together to trace the evolution of such deposits.

The collection of papers in this volume is a direct result of the Society of Economic Paleontologists and Mineralogists Research Symposium on "e;Thermal History of Sedimentary Basins: Methods and Case Histories"e; held as part of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Annual Convention in New Orleans in March 1985.

In the extensive field of earth sciences, with its many subdisciplines, the trans- fer of knowledge is primarily established via personal communication, during meetings, by reading journal articles, or by consulting books.

Landscapes of the past have always held an inherent fascination for ge- ologists because, like terrestrial sediments, they formed in our environment, not offshore on the sea floor and not deep in the subsurface.

A major reason for the lack of understanding of argillaceous rocks is that the key to understanding their history lies in their microfabric.

The first edition appeared fourteen years ago.

Water stagnation and submergence are major factors in rice growing.

In the captivating book Biochar Amendments for Environmental Remediation, readers are invited to explore the critical role of biochar in fostering a cleaner environment through its eco-friendly, cost-effective, and sustainable applications such as removal of diverse pollutants from water and wastewater.

Geoinformatics is a cutting-edge tool that develops and uses information science technology that can have far-reaching implications that include boosting agricultural output, increasing food supply, and reducing hunger-related problems in poor and developing countries.

Trace elements occur naturally in soils and some are essential nutrients for plant growth as well as human and animal health.

This special publication Perspectives in Carbonate Geology is a collection of papers most of which were presented at a symposium to honor the 80th birthday of Bob Ginsburg at the meeting of Geological Society of America in Salt Lake City in 2005.

This fully revised and updated edition introduces the reader to sedimentology and stratigraphic principles, and provides tools for the interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rocks.

Sedimentology is a core discipline of earth and environmental sciences.

Urban areas contain a wide variety of open spaces, yet much of this has evolved under the pressures of human population with minimal management.

This textbook is aimed at the majority of students, who need to quickly acquire a concise overview of soil science.

Principles and Practice of Soil Science, Fourth Editionprovides a current and comprehensive introduction to soil science for students in the fields of environmental and agricultural science, ecology, soil and land management, natural resource management and environmental engineering.

Environmental Sedimentology provides a comprehensive introduction to this rapidly expanding field which addresses the functioning and dynamics of contemporary sediment systems and how these systems respond to a range of both natural and anthropogenically-induced disturbance events.

Studies of aeolian sediments, both ancient and modern, have exhibited a number of important conceptual advances in recent years.

This is the first book to investigate the structure, origin and evolution of carbonate mud-mounds.

Understanding of rivers and their sediments, both as modern systems and as ancient counterparts in the geological record, has progressed steadily but markedly over the past several decades, with contributions by practitioners in diverse fields of geosciences and engineering.
