Stratigraphy is to place objects or events into geological or archaeological successions, and eventually to estimate their positions in time.
In this course, we will look at a number of quantitative methods which can be helpful in some of the most important branches of stratigraphy, especially biostratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, cyclostratigraphy, chronostratigraphy and stratigraphic correlation.
We will mainly use the software Past, but will also bump into a number of other programs.
Graduate or postgraduate degree in Life or Earth Sciences. All participants must bring their own personal laptop.
