Stratigraphy: A Modern Synthesis

Know about the book -

Stratigraphy: A Modern Synthesis is written by Andrew D. Miall and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3030875369 (ISBN 10) and 9783030875367 (ISBN 13).

The updated textbook is intended to serve as an advanced and detailed treatment of the evolution of the subject of stratigraphy from its disparate beginnings as separate studies of sedimentology, lithostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy, etc., into a modern integrated discipline in which all components are necessary. There is a historical introduction, which now includes information about the timeline of the evolution of the components of modern stratigraphy. The elements of the various components (facies analysis, sequence stratigraphy, mapping methods, chronostratigraphic methods, etc.) are outlined, and a chapter discussing the modern synthesis is included near the end of the book, which closes with a discussion of future research trends in the study of time as preserved in the stratigraphic record.
