Principles of Sequence Stratigraphy
Resources
Description
Key Features
- Updates the award-winning first edition in all aspects of sequence stratigraphy, from the underlying theory to the practical applications
- Presents the standard approach to sequence stratigraphic methodology, nomenclature, and classification; the role of modeling in sequence stratigraphy, and the difference between modeling and methodology
- Discusses the roles of scale and stratigraphic resolution in sequence stratigraphy, and the workflow that affords a consistent application of the method irrespective of the types of data available
- Describes the three-dimensional nature of the stratigraphic architecture, and the variability of stratigraphic sequences with the tectonic setting, depositional setting, and the climatic regime
- Illustrates all concepts with high-quality, full-color diagrams, outcrop photographs, and subsurface well data and seismic images
