Overview: Modeling and simulation were introduced to the earth sciencesabout four decades ago. Modeling has proven its worth and now it is anaccepted procedure for analyzing and solving geological problems. Thepapers in this collection are focused on modeling sediment depositionand sedimentary sequences and have a decidedly practical flavor. Someof the leading simulation packages, such as CORRELATOR, SEDFLUX,SEDpak, SEDSIM, STRATA, and STRATSIM are applied to problems inhydrocarbon exploration, oil production, groundwater development,coal-bed appraisal, geothermics, and environmental diagnosis
