Sedimentary structures introduces undergraduate students to depositional and also post-depositional sedimentary processes in an structures across a wide range of scales can be interpreted in terms of those processes. Sedimentary structures produced by erosion, deposition and pos…
Sedimentary structures
by Collinson, John, Mountney, Nigel, Thompson, D. B., (David B.)
The computer modelling forming the basis for this publication relates the geometry of cross-bedding to the morphology and behaviour of bedforms. Using computers for this purpose is necessary only because sedimentologists cannot adequately visualize the geometry arising when comp…
Contourites

fromDevelopments in sedimentology
Contourites are sediments deposited or substantially reworked by bottom currents. The study of contourites is nowadays crucial for several fields of fundamental and applied research: palaeoclimatology and paleoceanography, since these fairly continuous and relatively high-resolu…
