Quantitative Geology of Late Jurassic Epicontinental Sediments in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland

The book summarizes about 40 years of the author's research on sedimentary geology in an epicontinental (shelf) sea during the Late Jurassic in northern Switzerland. It presents a synopsis of the interplay of varying paleoclimate, of sea level variations, of varying water depth, of sea floor to...
