Sedimentology: Recent Developments and Applied Aspects

Although the seeds of modern sedimentology were sown some time ago, the events that have taken place during the 1980s and 90s have led to astonishing progress. This volume reflects some of the important developments which have occurred during this time. Contributed to by leading British sedimentologists, it also identifies outstanding problems which are the concern of sedimentologists today and helps to define the path into the future. This book provides information for both the active postgraduate sedimentologist and the interested undergraduate.

This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the Inversion Tectonics meeting held at the Royal Society in 1987. Divided into four sections (modelling and theoretical concept, inversion in the Alps and alpine foreland, inversion on the European continental shelf and inversion in other geological environments), this collection of papers provides a very broad spectrum of the subject which goes beyond the traditional usage of the term. This spectrum reflects the current range of research on inversion problems illustrating controversy as well as general agreement.

Carbonate rocks have diverse characteristics. They can be excellent reservoirs as well as prolific source rocks for oil. Oils from carbonate rocks commonly have distinctive bulk chemical and molecular characteristics that reveal their origin. The lack of widespread appreciation for these facts in the geological community was one reason that a symposium entitled "Petroleum Geochemistry and Source Rock Potential of Carbonate Rocks" was organized and held at the Geological Society of America annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, in October 1980. The symposium was sponsored by the Organic Geochemistry Division of the Geochemical Society during my term as chairman of the division. Of the 18 papers given in the symposium, 12 papers and four abstracts are included herein. Also included in this volume are two papers that were prepared later.

Using well and seismic data, the authors demonstrate that the 2000-m Tertiary carbonate section in the Maldives offers new concepts in carbonate modeling, as well as a model of vast spatial extent. Significant inferences can be made in the Maldive model with relation to Pliocene-Pliestocene glacial sea-level fluctuations.
