This book reflects some of the developments which have occurred in sedimentology during the last two decades. It identifies problems of concern to sedimentologists. Topics covered include the following: loose-boundary hydraulics and fluid mechanics: selected advances since 1961; clastic facies models and facies analysis; recent shelf clastic sediments; deep-sea clastics; deep-sea pelagic sediments and palaeo-oceanography; facies analysis of volcaniclastic sediments; shallow-marine carbonate facies and facies models; diagenesis of shallow-marine carbonates; clastic diagenesis; sedimentary ore deposits; role of clastic sedimentology in the exploration and production of oil and gas in the North Sea; and carbonate facies analysis in the exploration for hydrocarbons: a case-study from the Cretaceous in the Middle East.
