Sequence Stratigraphy: Methodology and Nomenclature [PDF]

Newsletters on Stratigraphy, 2011
The recurrence of the same types of sequence stratigraphic surface through geologic time defines cycles of change in accommodation or sediment supply, which correspond to sequences in the rock record. These cycles may be symmetrical or asymmetrical, and may or may not include all types of systems tracts that may be expected within a fully developed ...

Cyclicity and hierarchy in sequence stratigraphy: an integrated approach

Brazilian Journal of Geology, 2021
With standardized methodology and nomenclature, the sequence stratigraphy aims to characterize multi-scale cyclical units of genetically related rocks into a hierarchical chronostratigraphic framework.

Sequence Stratigraphy [PDF]

Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1995
Sequence stratigraphy is the study of sediments and sedimentary rocks in terms of repetitively arranged facies and associated stratal geometry (Vail 1987; Van Wagoner et al 1988, 1990; Christie-Blick 1991). It is a technique that can be traced back to the work of Sloss et al ( 1949), Sloss ( 1950, 1963), and Wheeler ( 1958) on interregional ...

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 ...

Sequence stratigraphy in Proterozoic successions [PDF]

Geology, 1988
Sedimentological logging and facies mapping have been used to identify depositional sequences bounded by subtle but regionally persistent unconformities in rocks of Proterozoic age in the western United States, South Australia, and northwestern Canada. We conclude from these studies that the sequence stratigraphic approach is of considerable importance

Towards the standardization of sequence stratigraphy [PDF]

Earth-Science Reviews, 2009
Abstract Sequence stratigraphy emphasizes facies relationships and stratal architecture within a chronological framework. Despite its wide use, sequence stratigraphy has yet to be included in any stratigraphic code or guide. This lack of standardization reflects the existence of competing approaches (or models) and confusing or even conflicting ...

Sequence Stratigraphy towards its standardization—an important scientific scheme [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences, 2019
In the Post-Exxon Era of sequence stratigraphy, various sequence models for the complex stratigraphic records with their response mechanisms are developed. All the models with strong pertinence are endowed, which lead to misapprehension in the conceptual

High-Resolution Sequence Stratigraphy of the Mauddud Formation Southern Iraq

Iraqi Geological Journal, 2023
Inner ramp carbonate and dolomitic limestone made up the late Albian Mauddud reservoir in Iraq. An age estimate for the Mauddud Formation is late Albian to early Cenomanian, with it overlying the Nahr-Umr Formation and underlying the Ahmadi ...
