1 Introduction: sedimentology and stratigraphy 1 -- 2 Terrigenous clastic sediments: gravel, sand and mud 10 -- 3 Biogenic, chemical and volcanogenic sediments 25 -- 4 Processes of transport and sedimentary structures 37 -- 5 Environments and facies 62 -- 6 Continents: sources of sediment and environments of deposition 76 -- 7 Glaciers and ice caps 89 -- 8 Arid continental depositional environments 96 -- 9 Rivers: the fluvial environment 111 -- 10 Lacustrine environments: fresh and saline lakes 128 -- 11 The marine realm: morphology and processes 135 -- 12 Deltas and estuaries 149 -- 13 Coastlines: beaches, barriers and lagoons 167 -- 14 Shallow seas 180 -- 15 Deep marine environments 194 -- 16 Volcanic environments 208 -- 17 Sediments into rocks: post-depositional processes 215 -- 18 Stratigraphy: concepts and lithostratigraphy 229 -- 19 Biostratigraphy 241 -- 20 Dating and correlation techniques 251 -- 21 Sequence stratigraphy and sea level changes 264 -- 22 Subsurface stratigraphy 290 -- 23 Sedimentary basins 299 -- 24 The Earth through geological time 316.

Summary: The record of tectonic and climatic processes through geological time is held within sedimentary rocks along with evidence for the evolution of life. This book provides students with an introduction to the continuum of scales of observation and interpretation which lie between the formation of a grain of sand and a fill of sedimentary basin.
