Recent Research on Geomorphology, Sedimentology, Marine Geosciences and Geochemistry: Proceedings of the 2nd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-2), Tunisia 2019

This edited book presents an updated view of conjugating field studies and modeling to better quantify the process-product binomial in geosciences. It covers major subjects such as geomorphology, sedimentology, and geochemistry, with 24 papers on fault slip and incision rates, soil science, landslides and debris flows, coastal processes, and geoarcheology. The sedimentology section includes 34 papers on stratigraphy, environmental, tectonic, and diagenetic processes, and paleontology. The geochemistry section focuses on sedimentary geochemistry, mineralogical characterization, magmatic and metamorphic processes, and the origin and exploration of mineral deposits. The book is of interest to researchers, practitioners, and students in various fields, including environmental geosciences, soil science, stratigraphy and paleontology, geoarcheology and geoheritage, marine geosciences, petrology, metallogenesis, and mineral deposits.

This edited book is a comprehensive compilation of papers presented at the 2nd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences (CAJG-2), held in Tunisia in 2019. Covering a wide range of subjects, the book explores geomorphology, sedimentology, and geochemistry in depth. It offers a unique perspective by seamlessly combining field studies and modeling techniques to quantify the intricate process-product binomial prevalent in geosciences.

In the geomorphology section, the book presents 24 papers that delve into diverse topics such as fault slip and incision rates, soil science, landslides and debris flows, coastal processes, geoarcheology, and geoheritage. These papers offer valuable insights into the dynamics and evolution of landforms, soils, and coastal systems.

Under the sedimentology section, the volume includes 34 papers that cover stratigraphy, environmental, tectonic, and diagenetic processes, as well as the evolutionary, biostratigraphic, and paleo-environmental significance of paleontology. The section also explores marine geosciences, encompassing molecular proxies related to climate, geophysical surveys, and the exploration of mineral deposits.

The third section on geochemistry comprises 26 papers focused on sedimentary geochemistry, mineralogical characterization, magmatic and metamorphic processes, and the origin and exploration of mineral deposits. These papers provide detailed insights into the composition, formation, and distribution of minerals within the Earth's crust.

The book is of immense interest to researchers, practitioners, and students in the fields of geomorphology, sedimentology, and geochemistry, as well as those engaged in environmental geosciences, soil science, stratigraphy and paleontology, geoarcheology and geoheritage, marine geosciences, petrology, metallogenesis, and mineral deposits. It serves as a valuable resource for advancing knowledge and understanding in these interdisciplinary domains.
