A selection of papers presented at the International Symposium on Geology of Deltas, sponsored by the International Association of Sedimentologists, and held in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, May 1992. They include reviews, syntheses, and case studies of deltas, with an emphasis on the Niger delta. They address sediment transport toward, onto, and away from deltas; delta classification, delta facies, and architecture; provenance and early-diagenesis studies; and reservoir, source rock, and engineering aspects. |
