Tidal Signatures in Modern and Ancient Sediments (IAS Special Publication 24)

This IAS Special Publication contains 23 papers presented at the 3rd International Research Symposium on Modern and Ancient Clastic Tidal Deposits. This symposium series has an enviable international reputation for its quality, and so the contributions represent the latest developments in the field. The conference was preceded and followed by a number of field trips to some of the most prominent tidal flat and barrier island systems of continental Europe, and these have been written up as overview papers that summarize the current state of knowledge about these various tidal regions. The latest research results from this very specialized field. If you are a member of the International Association of Sedimentologists, for purchasing details, please see: http://www.iasnet.org/publications/details.asp?code=SP24 The Distinguished Special Publications Of The Ias Continue With A Volume Of 23 Papers Presented At The Third International Research Symposium On Modern And Ancient Clastic Tidal Deposits. The Contributions Examine Tidal Sediments From A Wide Geographical Range, Analysing Depositional Environments, Processes And Facies. The Case Studies Cover The Geological Time Scale From The Present To The Carboniferous, Environments From Micro- To Macrotidal Settings, And Dimensions From Microscopic Scales Involving The Reconstruction Of Tidal Rhythms In The Growth Lines Of Bivalve Shells, To Macroscopic Scales Assessing The Tidal Influence In A River Delta Hundreds Of Square Kilometres In Extent.
