Sedimentology : Millenium Reviews - The Journal of the International Association of Sedimentologists
ISBN: 9780632057948 / Angielski / Twarda / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Sedimentology has seen many significant advances and changes over the past 40 years, ranging from facies modelling to sequence stratigraphy; chemostratigraphy to basin analysis; and the integration of studies of physical, chemical and, increasingly, biological processes in the interpretation and prediction of sedimentary environments and products. The subject is becoming ever more interdisciplinary and applied, and now has far more links to other physical sciences. Research and debate are continuing afresh as we move into this new interdisciplinary phase and promise many developments and...
