Cross-bedding, Bedforms and Paleocurrents in Animation
David M. Rubin, Carissa L. Carter
This publication is a DVD housed in a hardcover book cover. The DVD includes a PDF of the 2nd Edition of Cross-Bedding, Bedforms and Paleocurrents and an interactive program which shows the formation of bedforms in animation and allows the user to select from subsets of controlling variables to view the resulting strata as the conditions change.

Title information
This publication is a DVD with the complete second edition of Cross-Bedding, Beforms and Paleocurrents in PDF format and an interactive program which shows animations of the formation of complex bedforms under multiple sets of variables. Additional video files include flume and river bed videos. The DVD in housed in a book-like hard cover which includes a printed summary of the DVD contents. This publication helps explain the key to interpreting cross-stratified deposits is reconstructing the shape and motion of bedforms that deposited the bedding (a problem of pure geometry). This reconstructed history of bedform shape and motion can then be used to interpret the history of flow, sediment transport, and depositional processes (problems of physics, fluids, and sedimentology). Computer visualization is ideal for the geometrical aspects of this work, because visualizing the geometry of layers deposited by complicated bedforms that change shape and change motion can be difficult, if not impossible.
