Facies Models Respond to Sea Level Change
Facies Models: Response to Sea Level Change is a comprehensive compilation of research and case studies that explores sedimentary facies and their stratigraphic relationships in response to variations in sea level, integrating modern and ancient depositional systems within a unifying framework. Edited by Roger G. Walker and Noel P. James, the book discusses fundamental concepts such as sea-level control on sedimentation, facies analysis, and stratigraphic interpretation, and presents a wide range of facies models for clastic, carbonate, and evaporite environments including deltas, tidal systems, reefs, and submarine fans. By combining theoretical insights with extensive field examples and illustrative diagrams, this volume serves as a key reference for geologists and sedimentologists studying the dynamics of sedimentary processes and their application in basin analysis, petroleum exploration, and environmental reconstructions.
