Description
The recent major changes in sedimentary geochemistry resulted from quantification of relevant processes. The more rigorous descriptions challenge some conventional wisdom but are testable by predictive models. Many of the results were reported in diverse journals. Here in one volume the whole range of topics from controls on sediment input to its deep burial in sedimentary basins is covered by a series of chapters by experts in each field. The authors review recent advances but emphasize state-of-the-art developments, for example: extent of preservation of carbonate production in shallow shelf environments; in situ quantification of microbial community structures; rate of early diagenetic precipitation; constraints on large scale fluid movement in basins; prediction of diagenetic self-organization on a number of scales. This work allows the researcher to view the sedimentary system holistically, identify areas with apparent inconsistencies and define a new focus for new research. In many cases reference is made to the practical applications of the work, particularly in respect of environmental, hydrological or petroleum industry problems.
This book is intended for petroleum geologists, sedimentologists, geochemists, postgraduate level.
Table of Contents
Introductory remarks. 1: Catchment processes and the quantity of sediment delivered to terminal basins. 2: Sedimentary palaeoclimatic indicators: what they are and what they tell us. 3: Dissolution and recrystallization in modern shelf carbonates: evidence from pore water and solid phase chemistry. 4: Molecular modelling of carbonate minerals: studies of growth and morphology. 5: Rates of microbial processes in sediments. 6: In situ measurement of microbial biomass, community structure and nutritional status. 7: Microbial mineralization of organic matter. 8: C-S-Fe geochemistry of some modern and ancient anoxic marine muds and mudstones. 9: Quantitative assessment of changes occurring in organic matter during early diagenesis. 10: Synchronous oil migration and cementation in sandstone reservoirs demonstrated by quantitative description of diagenesis. 11: Tracing fluid sources and interactions. 12: Rare gas studies of basin scale fluid movement. 13: Flow of formation water in the Jurassic of the Paris Basin and its effects. 14: Self-organization and nonlinear dynamics in sedimentary basins
