This edited book is based on the papers accepted for presentation during
the 2nd Springer Conference of the Arabian Journal of Geosciences
(CAJG-2), Tunisia, in 2019. Major subjects treated in the book include
geomorphology, sedimentology, and geochemistry. The book presents an
updated unique view in conjugating field studies and modeling to better
quantify the process-product binomial unusual in geosciences. In the
geomorphology section, 24 papers deal with topics related to fault slip
and incision rates, soil science, landslides and debris flows, coastal
processes, and geoarcheology, and geoheritage. Under the sedimentology
section, 34 papers including stratigraphy, and environmental, tectonic,
and diagenetic processes, together with evolutionary, biostratigraphic,
and paleo-environmental significance of paleontology are presented.
Additionally, this section also contains papers on marine geosciences,
from molecular proxies related to climate to geophysical surveys. Last
but not least, the third section on geochemistry is composed of 26
papers that are focused on sedimentary geochemistry and mineralogical
characterization, magmatic and metamorphic processes and products, and
the origin and exploration of mineral deposits. This book resumes the
current situation related to the abovementioned topics mainly in the
Mediterranean realm. The volume book is of interest to all researchers,
practitioners, and students in the fields of geomorphology,
sedimentology, and geochemistry, as well as those engaged in
environmental geosciences, soil science, stratigraphy and paleontology,
geoarcheology and geoheritage, marine geosciences, petrology,
metallogenesis, and mineral deposits.
