Quaternary chronostratigraphy - a review [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 1992 Quaternary development is characterized by strong climatic fluctuations associated with repeated glacier expansions. Consequently the Quaternary chronostratigraphy is largely based on the dating of climatic fluctuations which have led to large-scale ...

The GSSP Method of Chronostratigraphy: A Critical Review [PDF]
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2018 The use of boundary stratotypes to define chronostratigraphic units began in the 1960s, and, in the 1980s, these were called Global Stratotype Sections and Points (GSSPs). Approximately two-thirds of the GSSPs of the bases of the Phanerozoic stage (71 of

Chronostratigraphy and geochronology: A proposed realignment [PDF]
GSA Today, 2013 We propose a realignment of the terms geochronology and chronostratigraphy that brings them broadly into line with current use, while simultaneously resolving the debate over whether the Geological Time Scale should have a “single” or “dual” hierarchy of units: Both parallel sets of units are retained, although there remains the option to adopt ...

Is there a role for sequence stratigraphy in chronostratigraphy? [PDF]
Stratigraphy, 2007 Sequence stratigraphy revolutionized the field of stratigraphy in the late 1970s and 1980s by providing an interpretive depositional framework for integrating diverse stratigraphic data at the scale of sedimentary basins. However, a lack of consensus on criteria for recognizing, mapping and hence dating sequence boundaries, interpretations of uneven ...

Chronostratigraphy of Gran Canaria [PDF]
, 1998 A chronostratigraphy of Miocene/Pliocene volcanism on Gran Canaria (Canary Islands) has been established by single- crystal 40Ar/39Ar laser dating of feldspar crystals from 58 samples of welded ignimbrites, lava flows, fallout tephra layers, and intrusive rocks.

Conodonts in Ordovician Chronostratigraphy [PDF]
, 2015 The great importance of conodonts in Ordovician chronostratigraphy is shown by the fact that conodonts are used for the definition of two of the seven global stages, and seven of the 18 stage slices, now recognized within this system.

Permian Large Igneous Provinces and Their Paleoenvironmental Effects
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 417-434., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
