Terrigenous Clastic Depositional Systems : Applications to Fossil Fuel and Groundwater Resources /
This second edition of Terrigenous Clastic Depositional Systems bridges the gap between process-related outcrop studies of sedimentary rocks and the three-dimensional subsurface world of the mineral fuel geologist and hydrogeologist. It remains unique in its focus on the application of subsurface fa...
