Authors:
Situates sequences within the broader context of geological processes so that geoscientists are better equipped to extract the maximum information from the record of sequences in a given basin or region
Essential reading for professional geologists involved in coal, gas and petroleum geology as well as hydrology
Stresses a deductive approach to geology placing the evidence before the model, making this a must read for all students of geology

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
“In this new edition … Miall (Univ. of Toronto) examines in detail the results of Vail and his followers, showing where he agrees with those results and where he feels that the Vail/Exxon model has gone too far in extrapolating from these results. … A must-read book for those actively involved in stratigraphy. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students and above.” (C. W. Dimmick, Choice, Vol. 48 (5), January, 2011)
“The considerably expanded and updated second edition of this book is subdivided into four parts … . These four parts contain 15 chapters altogether. … the book is a most welcome update and overview of the rapidly developing field of sequence stratigraphy. All students and professional geologists working in basin analysis will certainly like to have it available in their private libraries. Considering the relatively low price, I can therefore wholeheartedly recommend it.” (T. J. A. Reijers, The Sedimentary Record, January, 2011)
“Ein hervorragendes Werk zur Einführung in und zur Übersicht zu diesem hochaktuellen Lehrgebiet. Arbeitsmethodiken sind dezidiert erläutert, die wichtigsten Typen von Zyklizitäten ausführlich dargestellt und Bildungsparameter diskutiert. Für Stratigraphen und Sedimentologen sowie weitere interessierte Geowissenschaftler ein explizit empfehlenswertes Buch!”
Besonders hervozuheben: “Hervorhebenswert sind die vielen Verknüfungen [sic] von Erscheinungen und deren Ursachen sowie die disziplinär weit übergreifenden methodischen Ansätze.” (Prof. Dr. Olaf Elicki, Geological Institute, Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg)
