Mike Leeder is currently at the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia, Norwich. Previously he was at the School of Earth Sciences, University of Leeds. Mike believes that the first step in sedimentological problem-solving comes from field observations, a grasp of basic physics or chemistry comes second, and the application of simple mathematics third.

Résumé
Sedimentology is a core discipline of earth and environmental sciences. It enquires the origins, transport and deposition of mineral sediment on the Earth's surface. The subject is a link between positive effects arising from the building of relief by tectonics and the negative action of denudation in drainage catchments and tectonic subsidence in sedimentary basins.
The author addresses the principles of the subject, emphasising the advantages of a general science approach and the importance of understanding modern processes. Sedimentology and Sedimentary Basins is not an encyclopaedia, but attempts to stimulate interdisciplinary thought across the whole subject area and related disciplines. The book has been designed to meet the needs of earth and environmental science undergraduates.
