Temporal and Spatial Patterns in Carbonate Platforms

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Combining field research of outcrop geology andinvestigating the recent formation of carbonate rocks incoastal environments the author gives an introduction insequence stratigraphy. Using computer simulations the bookfocuses on four questions, regarding the geometry ofcarbonate wedges, sequences comparable with geotectoniccycles, their influence by geoidal pulses and thedetermination of these geoidal pulse distribution ingeological time. Examples from the Alps and Florida showthat ramps and divergent patterns, megabreccias, drowning ofcarbonate platforms etc. are results of global short-termsea level falls, interpreted as geoidal eustasy.This volume will be a fruitful supplement for theinterpretation and understanding of sequence stratigraphicsections not only for scientists and students but also forresearchers in the oil andgas industry.
