Download- Applied Sedimentology, 2nd Edition by Richard C. Shelley

Book Description:

Applied Sedimentology is divided into three parts: Rock to Sediment, Sediment Sedimented, and Sediment to Rock, reflecting the holistic nature of the sedimentary cycle. 

An introductory chapter outlines the field of sedimentology, relates it to the fundamental sciences, and discusses its applications. Part I, Rock to Sediment, consists of two chapters. 

Chapter 2 outlines weathering, showing not only how weathering gives rise to the terrigenous sediments, but also how it mobilizes and concentrates diverse residual ore deposits. 

Chapter 3, Particles, Pores, and Permeability, describes the texture of sediments and shows how these are related to porosity and permeability. ix X PREFACE Part II, Sediment Sedimented, takes the story a stage further.

Chapters 4 and 5 describe sedimentary processes and sedimentary structures, respectively.

 Chapter 6 outlines the major depositional systems and discusses how their products may serve as petroleum reservoirs and hosts for ore bodies. Part III, Sediment to Rock, completes the cycle. 

Chapter 7 describes the subsurface environment within which sediment is turned into rock. 

Chapter 8 describes clays, sands, and gravels and details their diagenesis and porosity evolution. Chapter 9 does the same for the chemical rocks, describing the mineralogy, composition, and diagenesis of carbonates, evaporites, sedimentary ironstones, coal, phosphates, and chert. The book concludes with a chapter on sedimentary basins. 

This describes the mechanics of basin formation, the various types and their sedimentary fill, and their petroleum and mineral potential. It also describes the evolution of basin fluids through time. Applied Sedimentology is written principally for senior undergraduate and postgraduate students of earth science and engineering.
