Apie šią el. knygą

Stratigraphy provides a comprehensive review of various stratigraphy types in a consistent, systematic manner. Each chapter includes definitions, concepts, practical applications, and case studies. The book begins with an overview of the discipline's historical principles. Subsequent chapters delve into specific types of stratigraphy: lithostratigraphy (lithology), biostratigraphy (fossil content), chemostratigraphy (geochemical properties), magnetostratigraphy (magnetic polarity), chronostratigraphy (absolute age), cyclostratigraphy (relationship to astronomical forcing), allostratigraphy (lithological discontinuities), and sequence stratigraphy (stratal stacking patterns). This structured approach makes the book a convenient reference for quickly reviewing and comparing different stratigraphy types.Each chapter follows a consistent outline, making the text accessible and easy to navigate. This invaluable reference covers practical applications and includes case studies, providing critical insights for stratigraphic correlation across various fields. The systematic presentation ensures that readers can efficiently compare and contrast the different stratigraphy types, enhancing their understanding and application in diverse geological contexts. - Provides a comprehensive reference for stratigraphy to guide instruction and research - Includes in-depth descriptions of all types of stratigraphy, allowing for understanding and comparison of all approaches - Analyzes the pros and cons of each stratigraphic approach, providing clarification of stratigraphic methodologies
