sedimentologyScientific discipline concerned with the physical and chemical properties of sedimentary rocks and the processes involved in their formation, including transportation, deposition, and lithification of sediments. The aim of much sedimentological research is to interpret ancient environmental conditions by studying the constituents, textures, structures, and fossil content of the deposits. sedimentology [‚sed·ə·mən′täl·ə·jē] (geology) The science concerned with the description, classification, origin, and interpretation of sediments and sedimentary rock.

No references found | Snow bank stratigraphy, sidewalk sedimentology and dozens of other processes and features found in the neighbourhood probably would not inspire a senior citizen bur it may be just the thing to arouse the curiosity and inspire a grade school student, especially if the experiment takes place right outside their home or school. of Sheffield, UK) have gathered these articles for students and researchers in earth sciences such as geomorphology, sedimentology, climatology and tectonics, discussing such topics as time scales of tectonic landscapes and their sedimentary routing systems, geomorphologic modelling of continental slope canyons and planar landforms as markers of denudation chronology. A quarter of all papers were devoted to palaeontological topics, a fifth to stratigraphy, and a bit less than a fifth to sedimentology. |
