This text shows how ancient environments may be reconstructed by interpreting the process or processes which gave rise to sedimentary rocks and the environment in which these processes operated. Chapters cover controls on the sedimentary rock record, alluvial sediments, lakes, desert aeolian systems, clastic coasts, shallow clastic seas, marine evaporites, shallow- water carbonate environments, deep seas, glacial sediments, and volcanic environments.
