Reviews the current state-of-the-art of quantitative stratigraphic correlation. Divided into three main sections covering the theoretical aspects of qualitative stratigraphy, including the mathematical formalization of stratigraphic terms, biostratigraphy, and lithostratigraphy.
This book provides an introduction to recent developments in automated stratigraphic correlation of fossil data, using computer programs for ranking and scaling of stratigraphic events. Mainframes or microcomputers can be used to aid the stratigrapher during data inventory for a region or time period, for construction of a biozonation based on stratigraphic events, (such as the latest appearance datum of a fossil species), and for automated correlation. The book is intended for advanced geology students, research workers and teachers with a background in stratigraphy and an interest in using computer-based techniques for problem-solving.
