For several decades Peter Friend has been one of the leading
figures in sedimentary geology and throughout that time he has
helped scores of other people by supervising doctoral students,
collaborating with colleagues, especially in developing countries,
and selflessly sharing ideas with fellow geologists. This
collection of papers is a survey of the research frontier in basin
dynamics, a field Peter Friend helped initiate, and a token of
thanks from people who have benefited from an association with
Peter during their careers. The papers in this book fall into four
themes - Tectonics and sedimentation, Landscape evolution and
provenance, Depositional systems and Fluvial sedimentation - which
reflect Peter's research interests and are all important areas of
current research in sedimentary geology. There are both case
studies and review articles on these themes which reflect recent
work, but the collection can also be considered to be a 'sampler'
of sedimentary geology for anyone with broad interests in the Earth
sciences.
