Book
Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy provides an indepth coverage and impartialassessment of all current ideas and models in the field of sequencestratigraphy. Even though widely popular among all groups interested in theanalysis of sedimentary basin fills both in academia and in the industrysequence stratigraphy is yet a difficult undertaking due to an overwhelmingjargon and the persistence of conflicting approaches as to how the sequencestratigraphic method should be applied to the rock record. This textbookexamines the relationship between such conflicting approaches from theperspective of a unifying platform demonstrating that sufficient common groundexists to eliminate terminology barriers and to facilitate communicationbetween all practitioners of sequence stratigraphy.This work is not only a review of past and current literature but alsoincludes key original viewpoints and is illustrated with new graphic materialand numerous field examples of outcrop core well log and 3D seismic data infull colour. The book is addressed to anyone interested in understanding andapplying the method of sequence stratigraphic analysis from students togeologists geophysicists and reservoir engineers. Sequence stratigraphyremains the most recent paradigm in the broad field of sedimentary geologywith tremendous potential to deciphering the record of global change and toimproving the success of economic exploration. Offers theoretical guidelines of how the facies and time relationships areexpected to be under specific circumstances such as subsidence patternssediment supply topographic gradients etc. Contains numerous highquality and fullcolordiagrams photographs andillustrations virtually on every aid in comprehension of the subject Features a dedicated chapter on discussions and conclusions incorporating allprevious chapters with references basic principles and strategies Provides an extensive list of «
