About this product
Product Information
This fully revised and updated edition introduces the reader to sedimentology and stratigraphic principles, and provides tools for the interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rocks. The processes of formation, transport and deposition of sediment are considered and then applied to develop conceptual models for the full range of sedimentary environments, from deserts to deep seas and reefs to rivers. Different approaches to using stratigraphic principles to date and correlate strata are also considered, in order to provide a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of sedimentology and stratigraphy. The text and figures are designed to be accessible to anyone completely new to the subject, and all of the illustrative material is provided in an accompanying CD-ROM. High-resolution versions of these images can also be downloaded from the companion website for this book at: www.wiley.com/go/nicholssedimentology.Product Identifiers

Essential for learning sed/strat
This is the standard textbook for introducing undergrads to sed/strat for a reason. It goes through all sed rocks and depositional environments clearly and systematically. Comes with cd for even more illustrations and photo examples (though it's an excellent standalone book anyhow). The more advanced aspects of stratigraphy are introduced including brief chapters on isotope geochronology (explaining techniques and limitations of common decay systems), and sequence stratigraphy (the concise description of this is a pleasure to read rather than diving straight into case studies on the subject). I quite like the way references for further reading are only a few key things listed at the end of each chapter, rather than the dissertation style of say Tucker's 'Sedimentary Petrology', where all the in-text citations can get a bit overwhelming.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
