Environmental Sedimentology provides a comprehensive
introduction to this rapidly expanding field which addresses the
functioning and dynamics of contemporary sediment systems and how
these systems respond to a range of both natural and
anthropogenically-induced disturbance events.
* considers a range of sedimentary environments; mountain and
upland, fluvial, lacustrine, arid, urban, deltaic and estuarine,
temperate coastal, tropical coastal, and continental shelf
* aspects of sediment management and remediation are also
considered as are the potential impacts of on-going and future
climatic and environmental change
* Readership: advanced level undergraduates in earth science,
environmental science and physical geography, and graduate students
in the earth and environmental sciences with an interest in
contemporary sediment systems
