Global sedimentology of the ocean : an interplay between geodynamics and paleoenvironment / Christian M. Robert. - First edition. - ix, 487 pages; illustrations same colour - Developments in marine geology, v. 3. 1572-5480 ; . - Developments in marine geology ; 3. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
1. Introduction. 2 Generalities. 3. Major types of basins in oceans history. 4 Formation of oceanic sediments. 5. Diagenesis of oceanic sediments. 6. Past oceanic environments.
This book provides an update of synthetic information in marine sedimentology, associating generalities to case studies. New information is replaced in a context of plate tectonics and evolution of ocean systems at geological scale. Besides general information, the book insists on the relationships between plate tectonics and sedimentation, as well as on the formation and evolution of sediment series and their potential as archives of past environments. complete update of synthetic information in marine sedimentology. association of information on the origin and transport of sediment particles, the evolution of sediment series and their role as archives of past environments.
