Accretionary prisms in convergent margins are natural laboratories for exploring initial orogenic processes and mountain building episodes.¡ They are also an important component of continental growth both vertically and laterally. Accretionary prisms are seismically highly activ…
Stable Isotope Geochemistry is an introduction to the use of stable isotopes in the geosciences. It is subdivided into three parts: - theoretical and experimental principles; - fractionation mechanisms of light and heavy elements; - the natural variations of geologically importa…

The case history approach has an impressive record of success in a variety of disciplines. Collections of case histories, casebooks, are now widely used in all sorts of specialties other than in their familiar application to law and medicine. The case method had its formal begin…
Virtually all of the major aspects of karst and paleokarst are brought together for the first time in this thorough overview. A variety of studies which address the many-faceted topic of buried karst are presented. Modern cave systems and the precipitates (speleothems) adorning …
The first edition appeared fourteen years ago. Since then there have been significant advances in our science that warrant an updating and revision of Sand and Sandstone. The main framework of the first edition has been retained so that the reader can begin with the mineralogy a…
Paleoceanographic conditions which led to the formation of the "mid"--Cretaceous triad along the northern Tethys margin are elucidated. In the first part, the evolution of this sequence is traced from the demise of the platform to the return of the detritus dominated deposition.…
This book reveals the main trends of the formation of petroleum pools in major parts of North African basins. It deals with the regional geology of this important oil- and gas-producing area. Emphasis is laid on paleoenvironmental and provenance reconstructions, trap formation, …
