The last decade of study of the shallow-marine boundary layer has arrived at a synthesis of sediment dynamic principles that can begin to be transferred from the time scales of the rock record (years to millenia). At the same time, the technology of petroleum exploration has lead to a fundamentally new way of examining the deposits of sedimentary basins. This book applies these insights to continental shelf and continental margin deposits, providing an entirely new viewpoint to the subject. Applies the insights gained from the study of the shallow-marine boundary layer and the technology of petroleum exploration to contintnental shelf and continental margin deposits, providing a new viewpoint to the subject.
