Product Description

This volume contains articles from the 20th Annual International
Conference on Soils, Sediments and Water. Primarily a technical
conference, each year the platform sessions, poster presentations, and
workshops represent the leading edge in environmental science and
technology. The meeting promotes a collaboarative approach between
scientists, engineers, environmental consultants, industry, and
regulators dealing with environmental contamination.

This yearly conference began 21 years ago to inform the environmental
remediation efforts of the DEP and the EPA. What started as a group of
Academics providing informal assistance to the EPA is now an
international conference that presents current research with the support
of a high level scientific advisory board. The conference follows
trends and adapts the conference agenda accordingly. The largest ever
attendance at the 2004 meeting was at nearly 1000 due to the caliber of
the researchers and engineers presenting at the conference. Content is
especially relevant to environmental remediation professionals for
acquiring current knowledge and technologies that can be immediately
applied in the field.

Continental Margin Sedimentation: From Sediment Transport to Sequence Stratigraphy
by Charles A. Nittrouer (Editor), James A. Austin (Editor), Michael
E. Field (Editor), Joseph H. Kravitz (Editor), James P. M. Syvitski
(Editor), Patricia L. Wiberg (Editor)




Hardcover: 560 pages
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell; 1 edition (August 3, 2007)

ISBN-13: 978-1405169349


Product Description
This volume on continental margin sedimentation brings together an
expert editorial and contributor team to create a state-of-the-art
resource. Taking a global perspective, the book spans a range of
timescales and content, ranging from how oceans transport particles, to
how thick rock sequences are formed on continental margins.


* Summarizes and integrates our understanding of sedimentary
processes and strata associated with fluvial dispersal systems on
continental shelves and slopes
* Explores timescales ranging from particle transport at one extreme, to deep burial at the other
* Insights are presented for margins in general, and with focus on a
tectonically active margin (northern California) and a passive margin
(New Jersey), enabling detailed examination of the intricate
relationships between a wide suite of sedimentary processes and their
preserved stratigraphy
* Includes observational studies which document the processes and
strata found on particular margins, in addition to numerical models and
laboratory experimentation, which provide a quantitative basis for
extrapolation in time and space of insights about continental-margin
sedimentation
* Provides a research resource for scientists studying modern and
ancient margins, and an educational text for advanced students in
sedimentology and stratigraphy.



Book Description
Continental Margin Sedimentation: From Sediment Transport to Sequence
Stratigraphy is designed to provide a research resource for scientists
studying modern and ancient continental margins, and to be an
educational text for advanced students in sedimentology and
stratigraphy. It summarizes and integrates our understanding of
sedimentary processes and strata associated with fluvial dispersal
systems on continental shelves and slopes. The contents deal with
time-scales ranging from particle transport at one extreme to deep
burial at the other. Insights are presented for margins in general, and
with focus on a tectonically active margin (northern California) and a
passive margin (New Jersey). These two examples allow detailed
examination of the intricate relationships between a wide suite of
sedimentary processes and their preserved stratigraphy. Observational
studies document the processes and strata found on particular margins,
and numerical models and laboratory experimentation provide a
quantitative basis for extrapolation in time and space of insights about
continental margin sedimentation.
