Part One, Rock to Sediment, introduces the concept of the sedimentary cycle, describes weathering and soil formation, and the fundamental physical properties of a sediment -texture, porosity and permeability/5(11).

Applied Sedimentology shows how the study of sediments aids the exploration for and exploitation of natural resources, including water, ores and Edition: 2. Applied Sedimentology describes the formation, transportation and deposition of sediment, and the post-depositional processes that change soft sediment into sedimentary rock.

Sedimentary rocks include sandstones, limestones and mudstones. "Applied Sedimentology" shows how the study of sediments aids the exploration for and exploitation of natural resources, including water, ores and hydrocarbons.

All the world's coal, most of its water and fossil fuels, and many mineral deposits occur in sedimentary rocks. Applied Sedimentology shows how the study of sediments aids the exploration for and exploitation of natural resources, including water, ores and hydrocarbons.

This book is the outgrowth of a week-long conference on sandstone. This fully revised and updated edition introduces the reader to sedimentology and stratigraphic principles, and provides tools for the interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rocks.

The processes of formation, transport and deposition of sediment are considered and then applied to develop conceptual models for the full range of sedimentary environments, from deserts to deep seas and Author: Gary Nichols. This book is designed as an introductory text for students in petroleum geology and applied sedimentology as well as a useful companion for advanced technicians, explorationists, geophysicists and petroleum engineers.
