Introducing Sedimentology by Stuart Jones (English) Paperback Book

Description: Introducing Sedimentology by Stuart Jones Sedimentary rocks cover most of the Earths surface, recording much of the Earths history and fossil record. In this thoroughly revised and updated popular student introduction the author provides a comprehensive, illustrated overview of sedimentary rock types, structures and depositional environments. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Sediments and sedimentary rocks are fundamental to our understanding of the Earth and the array of environments that characterise its surface. Since some 70% of the rocks on the Earths surface are sedimentary in origin and sediments are of great economic importance, there is a very good chance that we encounter a sedimentary rock or an associated sedimentary process at some point every day of our lives. Introducing Sedimentology covers all the rudimentary aspects of sedimentology including different types of sedimentary rocks, sedimentary structures, and environments of deposition of sediments. The application of sedimentology in the search for valuable economic resources is explained and how sedimentary rocks play a key role for subsurface storage of carbon dioxide and hydrogen as part of the low-carbon energy transition. Written for students, amateur enthusiasts and professional geologists, Introducing Sedimentology provides a succinct and accessible introduction to the science of sedimentology. It is generously illustrated with many explanatory line diagrams and colour photographs. Author Biography Dr Stuart Jones is Senior Lecturer in Sedimentology, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Durham. He is passionate about sedimentology and has taught the subject for many years to undergraduate and postgraduate students, and has led many field trips and training courses for industry. Table of Contents 1. What is Sedimentology? 2. Sediment to sedimentary rock; 3. Sedimentary structures; 4. The sedimentary environments; 5. Fossils and sediments; 6. The riches from sedimentary rocks. Glossary. Further Reading. Review I cannot recommend Introducing Sedimentology highly enough. The books quality and standard are testament to the expertise of the author, together with the resourcefulness of the publisher in putting together the "Introducing…" series, which helps make what can be quite complex science accessible to the widest audience. Gordon Neighbour, Geoscientist MagazineChapter by chapter, Jones navigates through the sedimentary rock classification, sedimentary processes, environments, fossil analysis, and societal implications, weaving together a narrative that underscores the interdisciplinary nature of sedimentology. By illuminating cutting-edge applications such as dinosaur reconstruction, CO2 sequestration, and planetary sedimentology, the book ignites passion and fosters a new generation of sedimentological experts poised to tackle the challenges of tomorrow. David G. Lowe, Memorial University Review Quote Of the first edition: "Explanations and discussions of the most important principles and concepts in stratigraphy, a variety of sedimentary basins and fossils, the most common erosional and depositional structures, a range of continental and (marginal) marine sedimentary environments, and the most important resources (the riches) from sedimentary rocks, all feature. Another of the books traits is that Jones deliberately uses simple (but not simplistic) terms. Jargon that could not be avoided in the main text of the book is explained plainly in a 5-page glossary." -- The Holocene Description for Sales People If it serves undergraduate students in the earth sciences Details ISBN178046102X Language English ISBN-10 178046102X ISBN-13 9781780461021 Format Paperback Country of Publication United Kingdom Year 2023 Publication Date 2023-08-24 Illustrations 100 colour illustrations AU Release Date 2023-08-24 NZ Release Date 2023-08-24 UK Release Date 2023-08-24 Alternative 9781780466705 DEWEY 552.5 Audience Tertiary & Higher Education Pages 125 Publisher Liverpool University Press Author Stuart Jones Edition Description 2nd Revised edition Series Introducing Earth and Environmental Sciences Edition 2nd Imprint Liverpool University Press Place of Publication Liverpool We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
