This book celebrates the professional career of Harold Reading, who has played a leading role in the development of the IAS, and has been at the roots of the development of 'facies sedimentology' as an art in itself and as a major tool in the broader field of geology. This special collection of original research papers from Harold Reading's students covers the wide range of his research interests and reflects the power of facies sedimentology today. State-of-the-art research papers in the important field of facies sedimentology * a festschrift to one of the great names in sedimentology.

Introduction. Alluvial palaeogeography of the Guaritas depositional sequence of southern Brazil. Sedimentology of a transgressive, estuarine sand complex: The Lower Cretaceous Woburn Sands (Lower Greensand), southern England. An incised valley in the Cardium Formation at Ricinus, Alberta: re-interpretation as an estuary infil. Gravelly shoreface and beachface deposits. The return of "The Fan That Never Was": Westphalian turbidite systems in the Variscan Culm Basin: Bude Formation (southwest England). Clastic and chemical sedimentation on some Precambrian continental margins of the Canadian Shield: deposition in shallow marine to deep slope settings. Facies models in volcanic terrains: time's arrow versus time's cycle. Coarse-grained lacustrine fan-delta deposits (Porarari Group) of the northwestern South Island, New Zealand: evidence for mid-Cretaceous rifting. Sedimentation and tectonics of a syn-rift succession: Upper Jurassic alluvial fans and paleokarst at the late Cimmerian unconformity, western Cameros Basin, northern Spain. The use of geochemical data in determining the provenance and tectonic setting of ancient sedimentary successions: The Kalvag Melange, western Norwegian Caledonides. Differential subsidence and preservation potential of shallow water tertiary sequences, northern Gulf Coast Basin, USA. Seismic stratigraphic analysis of large scale ridge-trough sedimentary structures in the Late Miocene-Early Pliocene of the central North Sea. Millstone Grit cyclicity revisited II: Sequence stratigraphy and sedimentary responses to changes of relative sea level.
