Reading's Sedimentary Environments: Processes, Facies and Stratigraphy Bruce Levell is an English-language printed textbook on sedimentary environments. This book offers a thorough and up-to-date description of facies and stratigraphy, aimed at students and professionals in the earth sciences.
This fully revised edition includes extensive explanations of sedimentary processes, facies, and environments. It covers, among other topics, the dynamics of stratigraphy and the influence of climate, tectonics, and sea-level changes. With hundreds of new illustrations and examples from seismic images, rock cores, and petrophysical log profiles, it provides practical insights for interpreting sedimentary rock formations. The chapters can be used independently and address deposition in a wide range of settings, from land to deep sea.
The book aligns with fields such as sedimentology, pedology, and stratigraphy, and is relevant for programs in earth and soil sciences, agricultural technology, and geosciences.
