Sediments, Diagenesis, and Sedimentary Rocks

Treatise on Geochemistry, Second Edition, Volume 7

About this book

This volume covers the formation and biogeochemistry of a variety of important sediment types from their initial formation through their conversion (diagenesis) to sedimentary rocks. The volume deals with the chemical, mineralogical, and isotopic properties of sediments and sedimentary rocks and their use in interpreting the environment of formation and subsequent events in the history of sediments, and the nature of the ocean-atmosphere system through geological time. Reprinted individual volume from the acclaimed Treatise on Geochemistry, (10 Volume Set, ISBN 0-08-043751-6, published in 2003). - Comprehensive and authoritative scope and focus - Reviews from renowned scientists across a range of subjects, providing both overviews and new data, supplemented by extensive bibliographies - Extensive illustrations and examples from the field

Volume Subject Index

The index is in letter-by-letter order, whereby hyphens and spaces within index headings are ignored in the alphabetization (e.g. Arabianā€“Nubian Shield precedes Arabian Sea). Terms in parentheses are excluded from the initial alphabetization. In line with normal materials science practice, compound names are not inverted but are filed under substituent prefixes.
The index is arranged in set-out style, with a maximum of three levels of heading. Location references refer to the page number. Major discussion of a subject is indicated by bold page numbers. Page numbers suffixed by f or t refer to figures or tables.
