Sequence stratigraphy: History, Economy & Measurement

Sequence stratigraphy is a form of stratigraphy that attempts to discern and understand historic geology through time by subdividing and linking sedimentary deposits into unconformity bounded units on a variety of scales. The essence of the method is mapping of strata based on identification of surfaces which are assumed to represent time lines (e.g.…

How Sequence stratigraphy connects Entity context

The extracted context around Sequence stratigraphy shows recurring relationship patterns in the source. For example, Sequence stratigraphy → Exxon's, John Sangree, Mitchum, North American, Pennsylvanian, Peter Vail, Robert Mitchum, Sloss, Vail Another extracted example is Sequence stratigraphy → form of stratigraphy that attempts to discern and understand historic geology through time by subdividing and linking sedimentary deposits into unconformity bounded units on a v…, useful alternative to a purely lithostratigraphic approach. Use these groups to spot repeated connection types before inspecting the individual relationships.
