Sedimentary Environments: Processes, Facies and Stratigraphy
Since the publication of the second edition, the study of sedimentary environments and facies has seen many developments. There have been major advances in facies modelling, sequence stratigraphy and basin modelling. This dynamic stratigraphy lends a new element to the book; and the third edition should set a further benchmark and remain the textbook of choice for students in sedimentology.

Sedimentary Rocks in the Field
This book describes how to conduct successful fieldwork, paying particular attention to precision and accuracy when recording data. It describes how to observe, record and map sedimentary rocks and includes an illustrated account of sedimentary rock types, textures, structures and the geometry of sedimentary deposits, as well as valuable coverage of fossils. A concluding section deals with facies identification and points the way toward facies interpretations.
Principles of Sedimentology and Stratigraphy
For intermediate/advanced level courses in Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, and Sedimentary Petrology.
A concise treatment of the fundamental principles of sedimentology and stratigraphy, including the processes that form sedimentary rocks, as well as describing the important physical, chemical, biological and stratigraphic characteristics of these rocks. The text emphasises the ways in which the study of sedimentary rocks is used to interpret depositional environments, changes in ancient sea level, and other intriguing aspects of Earth history.
Principles of Sedimentary Basin Analysis
This text incorporates developments in chronostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy, sedimentation and tectonics that have taken place during the 1990s. In particular, the wealth of case studies that have appeared since the late 1980s, focusing on sequence architecture and the relationships between sedimentation and tectonics, have required a virtually complete rewriting of Chapters 6 to 9. Amongst other additions, this edition contains new sections describing such topics as basin inversion and basement control of sedimentary basin development, and a range of new case studies of the plate tectonics of sedimentary basins.
Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins: From Turbulence to Tectonics
This volume takes into account the advances in sedimentology since the first volume, as well as the change in emphasis in the way the subject is taught. The focus is holistic and process-based. Traditional areas of the subject such as sediment transport and sedimentary structures are not neglected, but the author links sedimentology throughout with climate, sea-level change, tectonics, and sedimentary basin architecture.
