Sediment Provenance: Influences on Compositional Change from Source
to Sink provides a thorough and inclusive overview that features
data-based case studies on a broad range of dynamic aspects in
sedimentary rock structure and deposition. Provenance data plays a
critical role in a number of aspects of sedimentary rocks,
including the assessment of palaeogeographic reconstructions, the
constraints of lateral displacements in orogens, the
characterization of crust which is no longer exposed, the mapping
of depositional systems, sub-surface correlation, and in predicting
reservoir quality. The provenance of fine-grained sediments-on a
global scale-has been used to monitor crustal evolution, and
sediment transport is paramount in considering restoration
techniques for both watershed and river restoration. Transport is
responsible for erosion, bank undercutting, sandbar formation,
aggradation, gullying, and plugging, as well as bed form migration
and generation of primary sedimentary structures. Additionally, the
quest for reservoir quality in contemporary hydrocarbon exploration
and extraction necessitates a deliberate focus on diagenesis. This
book addresses all of these challenges and arms geoscientists with
an all-in-one reference to sedimentary rocks, from source to
deposition.
