Early diagenesis : a theoretical approach /
The approach to diagenesis in this book is unorthodox in that it is entirely on the third level. This means that diagenesis is described quantitatively in terms of mathematical rate expression. Our goals will be to develop theoretical models, based on a combination of sediment observations and a pri...
