Study Notes

Sequence Stratigraphy

  • Primarily deals with the study of sedimentary basin fills and the arrangement of sedimentary sequences in a chronological order
  • Linked to fundamental parameters such as changes in sea level, tectonics, and sediment supply
  • Integrates accommodation successions with changes in sediment supply, sea level, and tectonics to understand the formation of sedimentary sequences

Figure 1

  • Primary focus is on the visualization of the interaction between accommodation and sediment supply in a sedimentary basin

Table 1

  • Primarily about the classification of depositional sequences based on their position within a sedimentary basin and their relationship with accommodation and sediment supply
