| Summary | Through a remarkable combination of intellect, self-confidence, engaging humility, & prodigious output of published work, William R. Dickinson influenced & challenged three generations of sedimentary geologists, igneous petrologists, tectonicists, sandstone petrologists, archaeologists, & other geoscientists. A key figure in the plate-tectonic revolution of the 1960s & 1970s, he explained how the distribution of sediments on Earth's surface could be traced to tectonic processes, & is widely recognized as a founder of modern sedimentary basin analysis. This volume consists of 31 chapters related to Dickinson's research interests; many of the authors are his former students, their students, & their students' students, demonstrating his continuing profound influence. The papers in this volume are an impressive tribute to the depth & breadth of Bill Dickinson's contributions to the geosciences. |
