This monograph attempts to unlock the mechanics of sedimentation, focusing on the production, accumulation and preservation of organic matter in marine and lacustrine sediments. The contributors cover a range of geological ages, as well as temperature and organic matter types. |
| Synopsis: |
Sediments from the world's ocean floors and other water body basins hold a wealth of information about organic life as we know it. Organic Matter: Productivity, Accumulation, and Preservation in Recent and Ancient Sediments addresses focusing on the production, accumulation, and preservation of organic matter in marine and lacustrine sediments. Contributors to this important monograph cover a range of geologic ages from recent times back to the Permian Era, as well as temperature and organic matter types.This resource book will be of interest and benefit to petroleum explorationists and researchers, as well as oceanographers, marine and environmental scientists, sedimentologists, geochemists and paleontologists. |
