Sediment Routing Systems The Fate of Sediment from Source to Sink

Couverture de l’ouvrage Sediment Routing Systems
This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines to provide an understanding of sediment routing systems and Earth surface dynamics.
This cutting-edge summary combines ideas from several sub-disciplines including geology, geomorphology, oceanography and geochemistry to provide an integrated view of Earth surface dynamics in terms of sediment generation, transport and deposition. Introducing a global view of fundamental concepts underpinning source-to-sink studies, it provides an analysis of the component segments which make up sediment routing systems. The functioning of sediment routing systems is illustrated through calculations of denudation and sedimentation as well as the response to external drivers; with the final sections focusing on the stratigraphic record of sediment routing systems. Containing quantitative solutions to a wide range of problems in Earth surface dynamics, it is suitable for graduate students as well as academic and professional researchers; and will enable an understanding of sediment routing systems.
Preface; Part I. A Global View of Sediment Routing Systems: 1. Sediment routing systems: first concepts; 2. The global character of river basins; 3. Global biogeochemical cycles; Part II. The Segments of Sediment Routing Systems: 4. The catchment-fluvial segment; 5. The continental shelf segment; 6. The deep marine segment; Part III. The Functioning of Sediment Routing Systems: 7. Denudation and sedimentation; 8. Dynamics of sediment routing systems; Part IV. The Stratigraphic Record of Sediment Routing Systems: 9. Sediment production, evolution and provenance; 10. Sediment routing systems and sequence stratigraphy; References; Index.
Philip A. Allen is Emeritus Professor of Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London, and a process-oriented Earth scientist with particular interests in the interactions and feedbacks between the solid Earth and its 'exosphere' through the critical interface of the Earth's surface. He has received both the Royal Society's Wolfson Research Merit Award for 2006–2011 and the Lyell Medal from the Geological Society of London in 2007. He served on the Council of the Geological Society 2008–2012 and was Secretary of the Science Committee from 2009 to 2012.
