Global Sedimentology of the Ocean
An Interplay between Geodynamics and Paleoenvironment
- Christian Robert, Aix-Marseille Universites, France
A great deal of information has been gained during the past 20 years about the deep ocean. This book synthesizes new information in marine sedimentology, applying concepts to case studies, and integrating the information in a context of plate tectonics, global circulation, and sedimentary processes. The potential of sediment series as archives of past environments is highlighted.
