"The Source-to-Sink Vade Mecum: History, Concepts and Tools" is the latest Open-Access addition to the SEPM series "Concepts in Sedimentology and Paleontology."

In the form of a carry-along vade-mecum, in English and French, this volume offers a comprehensive history of the source-to-sink approach, tracing its origins from early geomorphological thinkers to its current applications in exploration, quantitative geomorphology and paleoclimate research. The reader will gain a deeper understanding of the major controls of erosion, transfer, and deposition, and how they shape landscapes and the sedimentary record. The book also describes the latest developments on the propagation of environmental signals from source to sink.

The book contains all the basic science concepts needed to understand the complex interactions between the Earth's surface and its sedimentary systems. Also designed as a text-book for teaching the subject in academia or industry, each concept is carefully explained with dedicated figures, making it easy to understand for both students and professionals.

The “S2S Vade-Mecum” also includes a toolbox of methods currently in use for the source-to-sink approach. This toolbox provides a quick overview of the many methods available for reconstructing ancient sedimentary systems from source to sink, making it an ideal reference for students, researchers and practitioners alike.

With contributions from leading experts from academia and industry, this volume is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of sedimentology and sedimentary basin evolution. Whether you are a student, researcher, academic or industry professional, the “S2S Vade-Mecum” is a must-have reference that will undoubtedly enhance your knowledge and skills in this dynamic field.
