"A key figure in the plate-tectonic revolution of the 1960s-1970s, William Dickinson explained how the distribution of sediments on Earth's surface could be traced to tectonic processes, and is recognized as a founder of modern sedimentary basin analysis. A tribute to the depth and breadth of his geoscience contribution, this volume presents chapters related to Dickinson's research interests"-- Provided by publisher.
