This book aims to inform advanced-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as professional Earth scientists with interests in physical oceanography and hydrocarbon exploration and production, about many of the important physical aspects of deep-water (mainly deep-marine) systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors consider transport and deposition in the deep sea, trace-fossil assemblages, and facies stacking patterns as an archive of the underlying controls on deposit architecture (e.g., seismicity, climate change, autocyclicity). Topics include modern and ancient deep-water sedimentary environments, tectonic settings, and how basinal and extra-basinal processes generate the typical characteristics of basin slopes, submarine canyons, contourite mounds and drifts, submarine fans, basin floors, and abyssal plains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeep Marine Systems\u003c\/em\u003e provides a comprehensive exploration, making it an essential resource for students and professionals eager to delve into the intricate dynamics of the ocean’s depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854441173228,"sku":"9781405125789","price":147.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781405125789.jpg?v=1759241779","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/deep-marine-systems-by-kevin-t-pickering-9781405125789","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
