The classical approach to sandstone petrology, established in the golden years of plate
tectonics and based on the axiom that “detrital modes of sandstone suites primarily reflect …

Abstract Sediment Routing Systems (SRS) and Sediment Generation (SG) are two branches
of sedimentary geology which are complementary, although their full integration remains …

Continental crust is the archive of Earth history. The spatial and temporal distribution of
Earth's record of rock units and events is heterogeneous; for example, ages of igneous …

A range of ages have been proposed for the timing of India‐Asia collision; the range to some
extent reflects different definitions of collision and methods used to date it. In this paper we …

In the last two centuries, since the dawn of modern geology, heavy minerals have been used
to investigate sediment provenance and for many other scientific or practical applications …

Sediments carried in suspension represent a fundamental part of fluvial transport.
Nonetheless, largely because of technical problems, they have been hitherto widely …

Arid and semi arid northern China holds some of the world's most significant sand sea and
loess deposits. In particular, arguably the most important late Cenozoic wind-blown dust …

The four‐part districting scheme (wedge‐top, foredeep, forebulge, and backbulge
depozones) applies to many foreland basin systems worldwide, but significant variations …

Alps and Apennines developed along opposite subductions, which inverted the tethyan
passive continental margins located along the boundaries of Europe, Africa and the Adriatic …

This article investigates both experimentally and theoretically the compositional changes
associated with textural effects and hydraulic sorting during sediment transport and …
