Sedimentary Basins: Evolution, Facies and Sediment Budget

This work addresses both qualitative and quantitative aspects of basin analysis in the contexts of plate tectonics and sedimentary geology. Large-scale processes, facies associations and especially sedimentary sequences are stressed rather than small-scale sedimentary, biological or petrographical characteristics which are clearly described in other books. The book is suitable for scientists and students in sedimentology, tectonics and marine geology as well as for practitioners in the petroleum industry.
