During the past few decades, the deep-sea research benefited greatly from the highly developed, highly sophisticated exploration techniques and comprehensive datasets, thanks to the immense industrial interest in deep-sea sediments.



The book Deep-Sea Sediments focuses on the seditive processes within the various modern and deep-sea environments. The individual chapters of the sea, the final deposition on the sea floor. The sedimentary processes cover several types of sediment flow and contour currents, pelagic settling and hemipelagic advection, planktic and benthic bioproductivity, and volcanoclastic sedimentation. In addition, the relationships between the deposited environment and the endobenthic organisms, as well as early. Facies models of the wide range of depositional products. Changes in sea-water chemistry, major innovations in organisms.



Deep-sea sediments are not only of interest because of the many climatic changes. Consecration, the book also includes an introduction to the climatic interpretation and Neogene icehouse conditions. In order to determine the characteristics of hydrocarbons reservoirs, are included as well.
