This textbook explains sedimentological processes via the fundamental physics that underlies the actual mechanisms involved.
Demonstrates the applicability of fundamental principles, such as Newton's Three Laws of Motion, the Law of Conservation of Energy, the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, and of other physical relations in hydraulics and groundwater hydrology by discussions of natural processes which form sediments and sedimentary rocks.
In this second edition several chapters have been updated and amended to reflect progress in the field
