Terrigenous Clastic Depositional Systems - Applications to Fossil Fuel and Groundwater Resources

This book bridges the gap between process-related outcrop studies of sedimentary rocks and the three-dimensional subsurface world of the mineral fuel geologist and hydrogeologist. It remains unique in its focus on the application of subsurface facies analysis to problems of petroleum, coal, uranium, and ground water resource discovery, delineation, and production.
