Editorial Board Members' Collection Series: “Sedimentology and Stratigraphy”

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the main advances in the field of sedimentology and stratigraphy. Sedimentology analyses the processes of formation, transport, deposition, and diagenesis of sediments and sedimentary rocks. Stratigraphy, based on the use  stratigraphic principles, explores how sediments and sedimentary rocks are accumulated in the diverse sedimentary environments widespread from marine environments to continental areas. Consequently, sedimentary rocks are recorders of the Earth’s ancient surface and its related evolution through space and time.

The main aims of the Special Issue will consist of bringing together research that studies sedimentological and stratigraphic data using advanced techniques, methods, and models with the goal of discussing wider contemporary implications. The Special Issue will cover topics concerning facies analysis, the processes of fluid transport, and petroleum geology, and links between erosion, deposition, climate, and tectonics.

Contributions from researchers worldwide that tackle key questions or comprehensive reviews of the current state of the art in sedimentology and stratigraphy are welcome.

We sincerely invite you to be part of this collaborative endeavor.

Dr. Roberta Somma
Dr. Sabatino Ciarcia
