Andrew Miall: A short overview of a lifetime's contribution to sedimentary endeavour

摘要

This special issue of Sedimentary Geology was commissioned by Elsevier Science Publishers, to mark the seminal contribution which Andrew Miall has made to sedimentary geology, not just within this important global publication platform, but indeed on the global scale. Octavian Catuneanu (University of Alberta), one of Andrew's ex-PhD students was invited to lead the volume, and long-time friend and research collaborator Pat Eriksson (Pretoria, South Africa; PhD thesis examined by Andrew in 1983) to join him in a most rewarding task. We are indebted to Charlene Miall, and to Nick Eyles, for their advice and for the photographs included here (Figs. 1 and 2).
