Image Analysis Sediments and Paleoenvironments This is a guide to imaging techniques for sedimentologists paleolimnologists paleoceanographers and microscopists involved in paleoenvironmental reconstruction. Case studies illustrate the range of information obtainable from different sediments (marine lacustrine aeolian) and different types of samples (cores embedded blocks microscopic slides) using different regions of the electromagnetic spectrum (visible UV IR X ray). Includes comprehensive protocols guidelines and recommendations for the use of low cost image analysis techniques.
