The term “provenance” incorporates all factors related to the production of sediments. Sedimentary provenance data play a critical role in assessing paleogeographic reconstructions, predicting reservoir quality, subsurface correlation, mapping depositional system, characterizing crust that is no longer exposed, and ultimately, crustal evolution. In spite of significant technological advancement in last 20 years, there is almost no memoir/special publication/book that treats sedimentary rocks from a source-to-sink perspective. This book provides a critical and comprehensive overview as well as new data-based sediment provenance studies from Eoarchean to Recent from several continents and will fill in the gap in the knowledge base.
