Beschreibung:
Michael E. Brookfield has taught stratigraphy, paleobiology, and sedimentology at Guelph University for 30 years. His main research interest is in integrated analyses of sedimentary basins based on field studies. He has worked on Western Canadian and Central Asian orogenic belts, recent and ancient glacial and desert deposits, ancient limestones and their paleocommunities.
Principles of Stratigraphy reafferms the vital importance of stratigraphy to the earth sciences, and introduces the undergraduate to its key elements in a lively and interesting fashion.
First recent text devoted to stratigraphic principles and applications.
Contains details of the latest stratigraphic techniques.
Includes numerous case studies and real-world examples.
An Instructor manual CD-ROM for this title is available. Please contact our Higher Education team at HigherEducation@wiley.com for more information.
