Sequence stratigraphy Sequence stratigraphy is a method of stratigraphic interpretation that combines the chronological order of the accumulation of sediments‚ their stratal architecture and the geometric relationships of their facies to determine depositional setting and predict stratal continuity. The workflow of sequence stratigraphic analysis first identifies the genetic units and bounding surfaces that compose the stratigraphic section in outcrop‚ core‚ well-log and seismic data. The framework

------------------------------------------------- The world of Geology has been brought to a new age of observation‚ interpretation and reasoning with the arrival of Sequence Stratigraphy. What is Sequence Stratigraphy? What is its purpose? How does it serve Geology? Sequence stratigraphy is uniquely focused on analyzing changes in facies and geometric character of strata and identification of key surfaces to determine the

material‚ a definition that is different from the way we defined a mineral back in Chapter 2. Here the word mineral can be any substance that comes from the Earth. Finding and exploiting mineral deposits requires the application of the principles of geology that you have learned throughout this course. Some minerals are used as they are found in the ground‚ i.e. they require no further processing or very little processing. For example - gemstones‚ sand‚ gravel‚ and salt (halite). Most minerals must be

mining operation is its geology. Geology can be classified as either physical or historical geology. Physical geology is the study of Earth materials‚ operating as minerals and rocks‚ as well as the processes operating within Earth and on its surface (Monroe‚ 2001). Geology influences the strength of the rocks‚ the ability to process the given deposit with existing processing techniques and stability of excavation made in the mineral deposit. This emphasizes the importance of geology to mining operations

How has society responded to coastal changes initiated by sand transportation‚ and have these responses been wise environmentally and economically? What do you do when mid-latitude cyclones get larger‚ strong frontal winds are more frequent‚ and waves and currents get stronger? How can we control high waves and storm surges that drive more sediment transport‚ permanently changing the coast? Coastal dunes‚ of all shapes and sizes‚ are are dense enough to prevent rapid and significant changes
