Presents the tools and techniques of sequence stratigraphy. This book covers a brief history, concepts and principles, tools, and applications of sequence stratigraphy to different depositional systems. It emphasises on seeing sequence stratigraphy in its sedimentological context, relating product to process.

The innovation and refinement of the techniques and concepts of sequence stratigraphy has been one of the most exciting and profound developments in geology over the past thirty years. Seismic stratigraphy has now become one of the standard tools of the geoscientist, and there is a pressing need for an introductory text on sequence stratigraphy. This new book sets out to define and explain the concepts, principles and applications of this remarkably influential approach to the study of sedimentary strata. The authors take a rigorous objective stance in evaluating the techniques and interpretation of sequence stratigraphy - basing the text on an internal training course developed by British Petroleum (BP).
