Description for Carbonate Platform Slopes - A Record of Changing Conditions
Paperback. Periplatform slope sediments from the Bahamas serve as an example for a small-scale sedimentologic record of environmental changes. This work seeks to contribute to and discuss developments in carbonate sedimentology such as the concepts of highstand shedding and early burial diagenesis. Series: Lecture Notes in Earth Sciences. Num Pages: 211 pages, 276 colour illustrations, 10 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: 1KJWB; RBGB. Category: (P) Professional & Scholarly; (UP) Postgraduate; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 12. Weight in Grams: 338.
Periplatform slope sediments from the Bahamas serve as an example for a small-scale sedimentologic record of environmental changes. Carbonate platforms react sensitively to sea-level fluctuations. Therefore, sediments deposited on the slope during lowstands differ in composition from highstand deposits. A second focus is the early diagenetic alteration and cementation of these sediments with their high diagenetic potential. This book contributes to and discusses new developments in carbonate sedimentology such as the concepts of highstand shedding and early burial diagenesis, which also have an impact on reservoir studies.
