The book explores the intricate nature of fluvial deposits, which serve as a record of nonmarine environments across various landscapes. It details the lithofacies composition and vertical stratigraphic records that reflect the interplay of channel dynamics and tectonic processes, along with climate influences at the time of deposition. The first section builds a stratigraphic framework, addressing lithofacies and architectural elements, while later discussions focus on correlation challenges, basin-scale frameworks, and the impact of autogenic and allogenic sedimentary controls on nonmarine sequence stratigraphy.
