This is a guide to imaging techniques for sedimentologists,
paleolimnologists, paleoceanographers and microscopists involved in
paleoenvironmental reconstruction. Case studies illustrate the range of
information obtainable from different sediments (marine, lacustrine,
aeolian) and different types of samples (cores, embedded blocks,
microscopic slides) using different regions of the electromagnetic
spectrum (visible, UV, IR, X-ray). Includes comprehensive protocols,
guidelines, and recommendations for the use of low cost image analysis
techniques.
