It is self-evident that a better understanding of depositional systems and analogs leads to better inputs for geological models and better assessment of risk for plays and prospects in hydrocarbon exploration, as well as enhancing interpretations of earth history. Depositional environments - clastic and carbonate, fine- and coarse-grained, continental, marginal marine and deep marine - show latitudinal variations, which are sometimes extreme. Most familiar facies models derive from temperate and, to a lesser extent, tropical examples. By comparison, depositional analogs from higher latitudes are sparser in number and more poorly understood. Numerous processes are amplified and/or diminished ...

Issue for 2000 includes also the abstracts of papers presented, in a separately-paged section.
Isolation of the eustatic components of relative sea levels holds potential for regional and global correlation. The papers in this title assess the tectonic-depositional evolution and relative sea-level history of exposed sections of the Northern South American cretaceous. Results suggest stable short-term sea levels. This work hold important implications for oil exploration in Northern South America as well as the US Western Interior Seaway and the Gulf Coast.
Current Geographical Publications (CGP) is a non-profit service to the scholarly community initiated in 1938 by the American Geographical Society of New York. Beginning in 2006, the format changed to include the tables of contents of current geographical journals. The journal titles listed link to web pages or PDF scans of the current issue's contents.
