Author: by Richard A. Davis, Jr., Robert W. Dalrymple | Size: 50 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: Sрringеr SсiBus | Year: 2012 | pages: 638 | ISBN: 9400701225 9789400701229 9789400701236

This book presents a comprehensive, contemporary review of tidal environments and deposits, overview of tidal sedimentology. The approach is comprehensive with state-of-the-art reviews of the full spectrum of tidal depositional environments, from supratidal salt marshes, through the full range of coastal environments and continental shelves, to the deep sea.

Examples from modern environments and ancient deposits are provided, and both siliciclastic and carbonate environments are discussed.

The book is organized in the following four parts.
1) Chapters 1 – 4 provide overviews of the fundamentals of: the generation of tides, the nature of sediment transport by tidal currents, the criteria by which tidal deposits can be recognized, and the ichnology of tidal deposits.
2) Chapters 5 – 14 review the charac teristics of the full range of siliciclastic tidal environments, including both tide-dominated estuaries and deltas, as well as the various tidal components of barrier-lagoon systems. These chapters cover all aspects of the sedimentology of these environments, from the details of the physical processes operating in them, through the morphodynamics and facies, and the stratigraphic organization of the deposits.
3) Chapters 15 – 18 provide syntheses of particular times and places in earth history where tidal deposits are particularly notable.
4) Chapters 19 – 21 discuss tidal sedimentation in modern and ancient carbonate environments.
