Mapping Stratigraphic Discontinuities in West Candor Layered Deposits and the Potential for Sequence Stratigraphic
Introduction: Other than the few Martian meteorites that have been found on Earth and the data being collected by the Mars Exploration Rovers, all data from Mars is remotely sensed which lends it to be developed and analyzed within a Geographic Information System (GIS) platform. This study is being accomplished by bringing together multiple datasets from the Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC), Mars Orbi...
متن کاملModern and ancient Zygochlamys delicatula shellbeds in New Zealand, and their sequence stratigraphic implications
The scallop Zygochlamys delicatula is an indicator species for a carbonate shellground facies which occurs on the sediment-starved outer shelf and upper slope around southern New Zealand. The modern distribution of Z. delicatula is restricted to areas where sea summer surface temperatures are less than ca. 15oC. Its occurrence in Late Pliocene and Pleistocene strata in North Island has, therefo...
متن کاملProbabilistic sequence alignment of stratigraphic records
The assessment of age uncertainty in stratigraphically aligned records is a pressing need in paleoceanographic research. The alignment of ocean sediment cores is used to develop mutually consistent age models for climate proxies and is often based on the δO of calcite from benthic foraminifera, which records a global ice volume and deep water temperature signal. To date, δO alignment has been p...
متن کاملTectono-stratigraphic signature of multiphased rifting on divergent margins (deep-offshore southwest Iberia, North Atlantic)
[1] Regional 2D multichannel seismic, borehole, dredge and outcrop data, together with burial models for strata in southwest Iberia, are used to investigate the tectono-stratigraphic signature of multiphased rifting on divergent margins. Our burial model reveals that Mesozoic extension occurred during three main phases, each comprising distinct subsidence pulses separated by short-lived periods...
