Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy provides an in-depth coverage
and impartial assessment of all current ideas and models in the
field of sequence stratigraphy. Even though widely popular among
all groups interested in the analysis of sedimentary basin fills,
both in academia and in the industry, sequence stratigraphy is yet
a difficult undertaking due to an overwhelming jargon and the
persistence of conflicting approaches as to how the sequence
stratigraphic method should be applied to the rock record. This
textbook examines the relationship between such conflicting
approaches from the perspective of a unifying platform,
demonstrating that sufficient common ground exists to eliminate
terminology barriers and to facilitate communication between all
practitioners of sequence stratigraphy.
This work is not only a review of past and current literature, but
also includes key original viewpoints and is illustrated with new
graphic material and numerous field examples of outcrop, core, well
log and 3D seismic data in full colour. The book is addressed to
anyone interested in understanding and applying the method of
sequence stratigraphic analysis, from students to geologists,
geophysicists and reservoir engineers. Sequence stratigraphy
remains the most recent paradigm in the broad field of sedimentary
geology, with tremendous potential to deciphering the record of
global change and to improving the success of economic
exploration.
* Offers theoretical guidelines of how the facies and time
relationships are expected to be under specific circumstances such
as subsidence patterns, sediment supply, topographic gradients,
etc.
* Contains numerous high-quality and full-color diagrams,
photographs and illustrations, virtually on every aid in
comprehension of the subject
* Features a dedicated chapter on discussions and conclusions
incorporating all previous chapters with references, basic
principles and strategies
* Provides an extensive list of references for further reading, as
well as an author and subject index for quick information
