Study Notes
Sequence Stratigraphy Emphasis
- Emphasizes chronostratigraphic units, which are bounded by unconformities, for subdividing sediments
Analyzing Methodology
- Provides a powerful methodology for analyzing the sedimentary record in terms of accommodation and sediment supply
Growing Interest
- Application of sequence stratigraphy has been an area of growing interest in the field of hydrocarbon exploration and production
Outcrop Stratigraphic Surfaces
- Unconformities and time-equivalent packages are easily identified and visualized on outcrop stratigraphic surfaces
Descriptive Illustration
- A descriptive illustration of time-equivalent packages in surface outcrops is invaluable for understanding the complex relationships between strata and reconstructing the geological history of an area
