Sequence stratigraphy, based on sedimentary response to changes in relative sea level gives the explorationist and the development geoscientist a powerful new predictive tool ...

The sequence stratigraphic model (Fig. 2) shows facies development and lateral growth and shifting of depositional settings on the platform during Early Cretaceous sea level fluctuations.

This post reviews some fundamental concepts of stratigraphy that are discussed in a 1964 GSA Bulletin paper by Harry Wheeler. At the same time, it is an essay about my own quest to really ...

Six types of source rocks could be distinguished within the three depositional environments of the sequence stratigraphic framework: (1) deep lake mudstones and shale deposited in the lacustrine ...

The McMurray Formation work is part of a larger research consortium between academia and industry, aimed at resolving the architecture and sequence stratigraphy of the McMurray Sub-Basin. I also ...

Enhancing knowledge through field experiences. Faculty research includes the study of Pennsylvanian-aged fluvial deltaic units in Michigan and phylloid algal reefs in Utah involving:. Estimation of ...
