Temporal and Spatial Patterns in Carbonate Platforms

Combining field research of outcrop geology andinvestigating the recent formation of carbonate rocks incoastal environments the author gives an introduction insequence stratigraphy. Using computer simulations the bookfocuses on four questions, regarding the geometry ofcarbonate wedges, sequences comparable with geotectoniccycles, their influence by geoidal pulses and thedetermin...
