Sediments from the world's ocean floors and other water body basins hold a wealth of information about organic life as we know it. Organic Matter: Productivity, Accumulation, and Preservation in Recent and Ancient Sediments addresses the processes of sedimentation, focusing on the production, accumulation, and preservation of organic matter in marine and lacustrine sediments. Contributors to this important monograph cover a range of geologic ages from recent times back to the Permian Era, as well as temperature and organic matter types.
This resource book will be of interest and benefit to petroleum explorationists and researchers, as well as oceanographers, marine and environmental scientists, sedimentologists, geochemists, and paleontologists.

Industry Reviews

International contributors address topics representing John Meacham Hunts wide interests, among them, modern-day analogs of depositional environments -research on the initial incorporation of organic matter in surface sediments on its way to becoming ancient sediment organic matter; the specifics of that transition; and the nature of oil and gas. Of interest, of course, to petroleum explorationists and researchers, but also to oceanographers, marine and environmental scientists, sedimentologists, geochemists, and paleontologists.
