Stratigraphic Systems Origin and Application

Stratigraphic Systems: Origin and Application is a comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of stratigraphic analysis for students and professionals working in stratigraphy, sedimentology, petroleum geology, geophysical interpretation, and reservoir engineering. Visher has constructed a powerful framework for predicting the geometry of stratigraphic sequences and the areal variation of their physical, chemical, and biological attributes. Suitable as a primary text for undergraduate courses in sedimentology and stratigraphy. Key Features · CD-ROM features expert systems software for identifying or verifying stratigraphic intervals · Provides historical and paleogeographic context for observations · Conveniently organizes stratigraphic systems into basinal frameworks · Incorporates statistical probability analysis, yet is not mathematically demanding · Stresses an analytical, rather than a descriptive, approach to predicting temporal and areal stratigraphic patterns · Includes more than 700 figures and tablesVisher, Glenn S. is the author of 'Stratigraphic Systems Origin and Application', published 1999 under ISBN 9780127223605 and ISBN 0127223606.
