Mathematical Models of Sedimentary Processes: An International Symposium by Daniel F. Merriam (Jessie Page Heroy Professor of Geology and Chairman)English | PDF | 1972 | 272 Pages | ISBN : 1468419978 | 24.2 MB
This volume reports the results of a symposium held in Heidelberg during the International Sedimentological Congress in late August and early September, 1971. The symposium, co sponsored by the International Association for Mathematical Geology, entertained the subject, "Mathematical Models of Sedimentary Processes. " The subject is most appropriate because sedimentologists have long been concerned with processes and mechanisms of sedi ment dispersal. Much effort has gone into building physical models such as flumes, stream tables, wave tanks, wind tunnels, etc. , to help understand sedimentological processes.
