The 'Snowball Earth'model of Hoffman et al.[Science 281 (1998) 1342] has stimulated
renewed interest in the causes of glaciation in Earth history and the sedimentary …

The term sediment gravity flow was introduced to describe the major flow types involved in
resedimentation processes and was defined as the flow of sediments or sediment–fluid …

The appearance of detritus shed from mountain ranges along the northern margin of the
Tibetan Plateau heralds the Cenozoic development of high topography. Current estimates of …

Glaciers and Glaciation is the classic textbook for all students of glaciation. Stimulating and
accessible, it has established a reputation as a comprehensive and essential resource. In …

Now enhanced with colour photographs and illustrations, this thoroughly revised fourth
edition of Sedimentary Structures enhances its status as a major textbook in geology. Since …

Short term variability in delta form and process can be partly explained by the relative
strength of hydraulic parameters such as river discharge, discharge variability, wave energy …

Two types of coarse-grained deltas are recognized: fan-deltas and braid deltas. Fan-deltas
are gravel-rich deltas formed where an alluvial fan is deposited directly into a standing body …

The transportation mode for large, isolated clasts “floating” in turbidites is a problem that has
been difficult to resolve. New observations from experimental, high-density turbidity currents …

Nonrenewable energy resources, comprising fossil fuels and uranium, are not ran domly
distributed within the Earth's crust. They formed in response to a complex array of geologic …

Modern and ancient volcaniclastic sedimentary sequences contain depositional units whose
features cannot be attributed to fully turbulent, dilute stream flow or viscous debris flow. The …
