| Course Description |
| Stratigraphic sequences provide the most comprehensive record of Earth history. The study of sedimentary rocks
is the core of stratigraphy, however metamorphic and igneous bodies cannot be understood without stratigraphy,
and studies of metamorphic and igneous rocks help to reconstruct the stratigraphic record. Shortly, stratigraphy is
the art of converting spatial relationships of geologic bodies to their temporal relationships. This course is
designed to give an introduction to the methods used in stratigraphy. Its first part deals with the basic aspects of
sedimentation, lithostratigraphic, and biostratigraphic methods. The second part explains geophysical methods
that are used in stratigraphy, applications of stable isotope fluctuations for stratigraphic research, and
geochronology. Different approaches of establishing temporal relationships of rocks bodies are summarized at the
end of the course |
