Environmental Sedimentology

Environmental Sedimentology provides a comprehensive
introduction to this rapidly expanding field which addresses the
functioning and dynamics of contemporary sediment systems and how
these systems respond to a range of both natural and
anthropogenically-induced disturbance events.

• considers a range of sedimentary environments; mountain and
  upland, fluvial, lacustrine, arid, urban, deltaic and estuarine,
  temperate coastal, tropical coastal, and continental shelf

• aspects of sediment management and remediation are also
  considered as are the potential impacts of on-going and future
  climatic and environmental change

• Readership: advanced level undergraduates in earth science,
  environmental science and physical geography, and graduate students
  in the earth and environmental sciences with an interest in
  contemporary sediment systems

Auteur
Chris Perry and Kevin Taylor are Readers in the Department of Environmental and Geographical Sciences, Manchester Metropolitan University.
