Description

Sedimentology: A Fundamental Science for Our Planet's Surface. Sediments and sedimentary rocks are ubiquitous in our world, making up around 70% of the Earth's surface. As such, it is likely that you will encounter a sedimentary rock or process at some point in your daily life. This book provides an accessible introduction to the science of sedimentology, covering topics such as different types of sedimentary rocks, sedimentary structures, and environments of deposition. The application of sedimentology extends beyond academic interest, with significant implications for the search for valuable economic resources and the low-carbon energy transition. The book explains how sedimentary rocks play a crucial role in subsurface storage of carbon dioxide and hydrogen. Generously illustrated with explanatory line diagrams and colour photographs, Introducing Sedimentology is an ideal resource for students, amateur enthusiasts, and professional geologists alike.
