Computer stratigraphy

Siliciclastic depositional sequences


  • Example 1. Constant sediment flux - constant sea level
  • Example 2. Constant sediment flux - changing sea level






    • Carbonate depositional sequences


  • Example 3. Constant growth - changing sea level









    • All animations generated using the Strata software (Flemings and Grotzinger,1996)
