Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Carbonate diagenesis is complex due to the reactivity of carbonate minerals, which interact with natural waters to either dissolve or precipitate carbonates, affecting porosity. This volume explores these relationships in detail, published in collaboration with OGCI and based on training courses led by Dr. Moore. It aims to provide geologists and graduate students with a comprehensive overview of carbonate diagenesis and its impact on porosity evolution. The text begins by contrasting carbonates with siliciclastics, helping novices understand the carbonate system's fundamentals. It then delves into carbonate porosity, discussing its nature and classification to establish the connection between diagenesis and porosity. Various diagenetic environments are outlined, emphasizing the characteristics of pore fluids in each. The book discusses tools for recognizing these environments, addressing the limitations of each method. Detailed discussions of major diagenetic environments include petrographic and geochemical characteristics, along with the influence of diagenetic processes on porosity development. Diagenetic models and recognition criteria are provided, supported by case histories for each environment. Over 160 illustrations and photomicrographs enhance the text. Extensively indexed, it features a comprehensive reference section, making it a valuable resource for geologists and a suitable text for advanced carbonate courses.
