Fluvial depositional systems / Andrew Miall.

By: Material type: TextTextSeries: Springer geologyPublication details: New York : Springer, 2013.Description: ix, 316 p. ; ill. (some color)ISBN:
  • 9783319006659
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 23 M618 551.3
Contents:
1. The Nature and purpose of this book-- 2. The facies and architecture of fluvial systems-- 3. Autogenic processes: avulsion and architecture-- 4. Basin mapping methods-- 5. Allogenic sedimentary controls-- 6. Sequence stratigraphy-- 7. Large rivers and their depositional systems-- References.
Summary: The book summarizes methods of mapping and interpretation of fluvial depositional systems, with a detailed treatment of the tectonic, climatic and eustatic controls on fluvial depositional processes. It focuses on the preserved, ancient depositional record and emphasizes large-scale (basin-scale) depositional processes. Tectonic and climatic controls of fluvial sedimentation and the effects of base-level change on sequence architecture are discussed. Profusely illustrated and with an extensive reference to the recent literature, this book will be welcomed by the student and professional geologist alike.
