- Summarizes and integrates our understanding of sedimentary
processes and strata associated with fluvial dispersal systems on
continental shelves and slopes
- Explores timescales ranging from particle transport at one
extreme, to deep burial at the other
- Insights are presented for margins in general, and with focus
on a tectonically active margin (northern California) and a passive
margin (New Jersey), enabling detailed examination of the intricate
relationships between a wide suite of sedimentary processes and
their preserved stratigraphy
- Includes observational studies which document the processes and
strata found on particular margins, in addition to numerical models
and laboratory experimentation, which provide a quantitative basis
for extrapolation in time and space of insights about
continental-margin sedimentation
Provides a research resource for scientists studying modern and ancient margins, and an educational text for advanced students in sedimentology and stratigraphy.
