Periplatform slope sediments from the Bahamas serve as an example for a small-scale sedimentologic record of environmental changes. Carbonate platforms react sensitively to sea-level fluctuations. Therefore, sediments deposited on the slope during lowstands differ in composition from highstand deposits. A second focus is the early diagenetic alteration and cementation of these sediments with their high diagenetic potential. This book contributes to and discusses new developments in carbonate sedimentology such as the concepts of highstand shedding and early burial diagenesis, which also have an impact on reservoir studies.

Das Buch erkundet säkulare Pilgerstätten der Moderne, die Orte der Erkenntnis und emotionalen Berührung sind, wie das CERN und das British Museum. Es führt Leser auf eine Weltreise zu bedeutenden Stätten, von Freuds Zimmer bis zu den Galápagos-Inseln, und wurde mehrfach als Wissenschaftsbuch des Jahres nominiert.
