Sommario/riassunto

This volume on continental margin sedimentation brings together an expert editorial and contributor team to create a state-of-the-art



resource. Taking a global perspective, the book spans a range of timescales and content, ranging from how oceans transport particles, to how thick rock sequences are formed on continental margins.Summarizes and integrates our understanding of sedimentary processes and strata associated with fluvial dispersal systems on continental shelves and slopesExplores timescales ranging from particle transport at one extreme, to deep burial at the otherInsi
