The innovation and refinement of the techniques and concepts of
sequence stratigraphy has been one of the most exciting and
profound developments in geology over the past thirty years.
Seismic stratigraphy has now become one of the standard tools of
the geoscientist, and there is a pressing need for an introductory
text on sequence stratigraphy. This new book sets out to define and
explain the concepts, principles and applications of this
remarkably influential approach to the study of sedimentary strata.
The authors take a rigorous objective stance in evaluating the
techniques and interpretation of sequence stratigraphy — basing the
text on an internal training course developed by British Petroleum
(BP).
* A new text on this increasingly important field
* A practical guide based on the experience of practising
sequence stratigraphers
* Based on a highly successful BP training course
