Brief content description

The course objectives are the following: • Define principles and methods to study sedimentary cyclicity, integrated stratigraphy, astrochronology for any type of professional and research application. • Define chronological constrains using paleomagnetic, biostratigraphic and geochemical data in a sedimentary sequence. • Elaborate of a chronological model to date a sedimentary sequence. • Define limits and application of integrated stratigraphy methods in different contexts for palaeoclimate and palaeoenironment reconstructions. • Direct application of integrated stratigraphy methods in the field in a marine and continental sequence. • Correlate a sedimentary sequence measured in the field with a borehole measured in the laboratory. • Rigorously present objectives, concepts and procedures of integrated stratigraphy data interpretation. • Use computer to elaborate data, information and results. • Present data and results in English language.
