本书是为了应对过去 30 年来沉积学的快速扩展和多样化而编写的。我们认为，对该领域进行批判性综合是一个重要且紧迫的问题。沉积学研究涉及与地质学许多其他分支的动态相互作用。其工具范围从用于测量亚微观的工具到涉及使用雷达、反射地震仪和地球卫星的工具。在第一部分的引言中，我们定义了沉积学的广泛范围，正如我们所看到的，这个范围可能比我们的一些同事的范围更广泛。事实上，沉积学对于一些地质学家来说是一个非常陌生的术语，以至于它还没有成为《地质学参考书目和索引》索引部分的标题。本书旨在作为本科生和研究生沉积学课程的教科书。在撰写本书时，我们主要针对初中和高中学生。我们早期章节的写作风格与较低水平的本科课程一致，但我们相信，随着学生的进步，他或她应该逐渐习惯更专业的风格。因此，后面的章节都是按专业水平来写的。对于那些只浏览这本书的人来说，这种不一致可能会令人困惑，但这是故意的，并且考虑到了学生。沉积学研究生入门也会发现本书很有用。第 8 章至第 14 章，特别是第 8、10、11 和 12 章，对于从事石油和天然气勘探或开采以及工业或政府地下水或经济地质学研究的专业地质学家来说至关重要。关注环境的地质学家可能会对第 9 章感兴趣。
This book has been written in response to the rapid expansion and diversification of sedimentology during the last 30 years. We believe that a critical synthesis of this field is a matter of importance and urgency. The study of sedimentology involves a dynamic interplay with many of the other branches of geology. Its tools range from those used to measure the submicroscopic to ones involving the use of radar, the reflection seismograph, and Earth satellites. In the introduction of Part I we define the wide scope of sedimentology, as we see it, a scope which may be broader than that of some of our colleagues. Actually sedimentology is such an unfamiliar term to some geologists that it has not yet become a heading in the index section of the Bibliography and Index of Geology. This book is intended to be used as a text in undergraduate and graduate courses of sedimentology. In writing this book we have aimed primarily at junior and senior students. Our style of writing in the early chapters is consistent with lower-level undergraduate courses, but we believe that as the student advances he or she progressively should become accustomed to a more professional style. Therefore, the later chapters are written at a professional level. To those who simply scan the book, this lack of uniformity may seem perplexing, but it is deliberate and has the student in mind. Beginning graduate students in sedimentology will also find this text useful. Chapters 8 to 14, especially Chapters 8, 10, 11, and 12, are central to the professional geologist employed in oil and gas exploration or exploitation, and in the study of groundwater or economic geology either in industry or government. Chapter 9 may be of interest to geologists concerned with environment.
