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
