Miall, Andrew D.,
Fluvial depositional systems / Andrew Miall. - Switzerland Springer 2014 - ix, 316 pages : illustrations (some color) ; - Springer geology .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 295-316).
1. The nature and purpose of this book -- 2. The facies and architecture of fluvial systems -- 3. Autogenic processes: Avulsion and architecture -- 4. Basin mapping methods -- 5. Allogenic sedimentary controls -- 6. Sequence stratigraphy -- 7. Large rivers and their depositional systems.
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. It focuses on the preserved, ancient depositional record and emphasizes large-scale (basin-scale) depositional processes. Tectonic and climatic controls of fluvial sedimentation and the effects of base-level change on sequence architecture are discussed. Profusely illustrated and with an extensive reference to the recent literature, this book will be welcomed by the student and professional geologist alike. --
