VOLUME IN NEW CONDITION

This authoritative and highly regarded reference work in sedimentary geology and seismic stratigraphy presents a comprehensive synthesis of research on the seismic facies and depositional processes of submarine fans and turbidite systems. Edited by leading geoscientists Paul Weimer and Martin H. Link, the volume brings together contributions from internationally recognized researchers, offering both foundational theory and applied case studies. The text explores modern and ancient submarine fan systems, seismic interpretation methodologies, facies recognition criteria, depositional models, basin analysis, and implications for hydrocarbon exploration.

Originally published as part of the Frontiers in Sedimentary Geology series, this work remains an important scholarly resource for professional geologists, geophysicists, petroleum engineers, and advanced students engaged in deepwater sedimentary research and energy resource

About this title

Synopsis

The Frontiers in Sedimentary Geology series was established for the student, the researcher, and the applied scientist to enhance their potential to stay abreast of the most recent ideas and developments and to become familiar with certain topics in the field of sedimentary geology. This series deals with subjects that are in the forefront of both scientific and economic interests. The treatment of a subject in an individual volume, therefore, should be a combina­ tion of topical, regional, and interdisciplinary approaches. The interdisciplinary aspects are becoming more and more important because most studies dealing with the natural sciences cannot effectively stand alone. Although this thrust may sound simple, in reality it is not, basi­ cally because each discipline has developed its own jargon and definitions ofterms. Communi­ cation among disciplines is a major issue and can be accomplished more constructively when people with different backgrounds join together at the same symposium and can read from the same volume rather than confining themselves within the world of their own specialty meetings and journals. Books in this series provide this connective link between disciplines. Each book in this series provides a continuous and connected flow of concepts throughout the volume by the use of introductory chapters that outline a topic to help the reader grasp its problems and to understand the contributions that follow.
