Sedimentology has seen many significant advances and changes over
the past 40 years, ranging from facies modelling to sequence
stratigraphy; chemostratigraphy to basin analysis; and the
integration of studies of physical, chemical and, increasingly,
biological processes in the interpretation and prediction of
sedimentary environments and products. The subject is becoming ever
more interdisciplinary and applied, and now has far more links to
other physical sciences. Research and debate are continuing afresh
as we move into this new interdisciplinary phase and promise many
developments and increased uses of our subject. Now seemed a good
time to publish a series of review papers concerning some key
current areas of research. We hope that these papers will provide
comprehensive starting points for those wishing to become
acquainted with an area, act as stimuli for debate, and provide
awareness and ideas for future research avenues. No issue of this
sort can, of course, ever be truly comprehensive in its coverage:
these reviews concern only selected snippets from the wide scope of
sedimentology and each has, of necessity, been selective in its own
area.
