Deep Marine Environments: Clastic Sedimentation and Tectonics

by Kevin T. Pickering, Frances J. Hein, Richard N. Hiscott

This is a description of deep-marine sedimentary environments which aims to summarize the information that has been acquired since 1970, particularly as a result of international oceangraphic research through the Ocean Drilling Programme. The text integrates detailed process-based sedimentology, depositional environments and large-scale plate-tectonic controls of deep-marine sediments from both modern and ancient settings.
