{"product_id":"9781118865422","title":"Deep Marine Systems: Processes, Deposits, Environments, Tectonics and Sedimentation","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeep-water (below wave base) processes, although generally hidden from view, shape the sedimentary record of more than 65% of the Earth’s surface, including large parts of ancient mountain belts. This book aims to inform advanced-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, and professional Earth scientists with interests in physical oceanography and hydrocarbon exploration and production, about many of the important physical aspects of deep-water (mainly deep-marine) systems. The authors consider transport and deposition in the deep sea, trace-fossil assemblages, and facies stacking patterns as an archive of the underlying controls on deposit architecture (e.g., seismicity, climate change, autocyclicity). Topics include modern and ancient deep-water sedimentary environments, tectonic settings, and how basinal and extra-basinal processes generate  the typical characteristics of basin slopes, submarine canyons, contourite mounds and drifts, submarine fans, basin floors and abyssal plains.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47078162530544,"sku":"9781118865422","price":90.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781118865422_p0.jpg?v=1763695873","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781118865422","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
