"Fluvial Depositional Systems" by Andrew Miall (Repost)

The book summarizes methods of mapping and interpretation of fluvial depositional systems, with a detailed treatment of the tectonic, climatic and eustatic controls on fluvial depositional processes, and focuses on the preserved, ancient depositional record and emphasizes large-scale (basin-scale) depositional processes. This book will be welcomed by the student and professional geologist alike.

Tectonic and climatic controls of fluvial sedimentation and the effects of base-level change on sequence architecture are discussed.

• Applies modern sequence-stratigraphic methods and concepts to the nonmarine environment
• Demonstrates and explains integrated stratigraphic-sedimentologic methods for analysis and interpretation
• Discusses the information regarding basin-scale tectonic, climatic, eustatic and paleogeographic history that may be derived from the study of the ancient fluvial record
