Palaeosurfaces : recognition, reconstruction and palaeoenvironmental interpretation

摘要: This Special Publication is a collection of papers which identifies, describes, and interprets the occurrence palaeosurfaces in geological record. The concept palaeosurface one generally understood across geomorphological sciences but, according to discipline application, often differs emphasis detail its interpretation. In order encompass widest range contributions views upon subject palaeosurfaces, broad remit was deliberately adopted during preparation this volume. Many working groups within share common link through Geological Society, it hoped that volume will further illustrate potential cross-disciplinary study. Geology geomorphology, though approached by different research schools, are both expressions complex Earth systems as such can rarely be treated independently. Since investigation requires an understanding processes, their study clearly theme demands type approach. Therefore, aim bring together expertise from variety fields researchers disciplines who have combined approach research. Contributions been encouraged geology, geochemistry, palynology palaeoenvironmental studies. include studies evolution, reconstruction palaeolandscapes, lateritization bauxitization, palaeo-karstification, sequence stratigraphy, geochemistry rock alteration, preservation elements terrains glaciated sub-tropical regions.
