Quantifying sedimentary geochemical processes

Introductory remarks. 1: Catchment processes and the quantity of sediment delivered to terminal basins. 2: Sedimentary palaeoclimatic indicators: what they are and what they tell us. 3: Dissolution and recrystallization in modern shelf carbonates: evidence from pore water and solid phase chemistry. 4: Molecular modelling of carbonate minerals: studies of growth and morphology. 5: Rates of microbial processes in sediments. 6: In situ measurement of microbial biomass, community structure and nutritional status. 7: Microbial mineralization of organic matter. 8: C-S-Fe geochemistry of some modern and ancient anoxic marine muds and mudstones. 9: Quantitative assessment of changes occurring in organic matter during early diagenesis. 10: Synchronous oil migration and cementation in sandstone reservoirs demonstrated by quantitative description of diagenesis. 11: Tracing fluid sources and interactions. 12: Rare gas studies of basin scale fluid movement. 13: Flow of formation water in the Jurassic of the Paris Basin and its effects. 14: Self-organization and nonlinear dynamics in sedimentary basins
