Aprašymas

Diagenesis: Subsurface Processes in Sediments and Sedimentary Rocks examines the chemical and mechanical processes that affect sediment after deposition, which are responsible for the rock properties that we observe in the subsurface. Predicting subsurface rock properties is essential for effective understanding of subsurface systems for a wide range of purposes. The text begins with a detailed review of the nature of diagenesis and its key controls. Then starting materials are examined with detrital grain assemblages. Several chapters explore the mechanical and chemical processes of diagenesis. Finally, the authors analyze the behavior of key mineral and rock components in diagenesis, the many applications of diagenetic concepts, and the role of diagenesis in the rock cycle. Readers will also appreciate additional learning resources for understanding petrographic methods. This invaluable reference offers readers a comprehensive, in-depth understanding of diagenesis and its important applications.
