Book Description
For the geoscientist, interest in sediment dynamics relates to the understanding of modern processes, together with their extrapolation to the interpretation of ancient deposits within the stratigraphic record. Recently, a number of new techniques and approaches have been developed and a representative selection, by reference to recently undertaken coastal and shelf investigations, is included here: optical and acoustic backscatter measurements; particle tracking; the use of mutibeam imagery; grain-size trend analysis; and analytic, numerical and conceptual modelling.
