Paleogeography, Paleoclimate and Source Rocks

This volume of “Paleogeography, Paleoclimate and Source Rocks” covers marine, lacustrine, and terrigenous source rocks in various regions, stratigraphic frameworks, and paleo-environments. It is cross-disciplinary, up-to-date, comprehensive, and profusely illustrated. American Association of Petroleum Engineers (AAPG) Founded in 1917, we are the world’s largest professional geological society, with over 30,000 members.

This book of “Paleogeography, Paleoclimate and Source Rocks” delves into Earth’s past environments, with a focus on paleogeography, paleoclimate, and source rocks. Geologists and climate scientists actively investigate these topics, providing valuable insights into our planet’s geological history. Researchers in these fields often lead the way in developing innovative techniques and methodologies, pushing the boundaries of our understanding. The book serves as a comprehensive guide, bridging the gap between historical Earth conditions and contemporary scientific approaches, offering readers a deep dive into Earth’s captivating geological past.

We are a pillar of the world-wide scientific community. Our books foster scientific research, advance the science of geology and promote the most effective use of petroleum extraction & processing technology and practice. Some of the areas we publish in include: GIS, Petroleum Engineering, Well Log Analysis, Geological Modeling, Carbonate Petrology, Seismic Imaging, Reservoir Characterization and Regional Petroleum Analysis.
