The Geology of Fluvial Deposits

Meer over het boek

Fluvial deposits serve as vital records of nonmarine environments, accumulating in various settings such as valleys and coastal plains. The book explores the intricate interplay of processes shaping these deposits, from channel dynamics to tectonic influences. It begins with a historical overview and progresses to construct a stratigraphic framework, detailing lithofacies and architectural elements. The work addresses correlation challenges and basin-scale frameworks, delving into autogenic and allogenic controls, ultimately enhancing understanding of nonmarine sequence stratigraphy.
