Stratigraphy Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab reads the history of the Earth and life from strata and fossils.
AboutAbout the lab
Reading Earth's past, preserved in strata.
The Stratigraphy Lab studies the history of Earth's changes from the standpoint of biology and paleontology.
It reconstructs past environments by combining paleontological information from fossils with geological and sedimentological information read from strata.
The lab also works to elucidate the evolution of life, including the evolution of the lifestyles and behaviors of ancient organisms, with the addition of DNA information from organisms living today.
The faculty members each study the following: changes in past ocean environments based on planktonic microfossils; the evolution of early life on Earth and the formation of resource ore deposits; and the history of paleoearthquakes and the reconstruction of paleoenvironments based on topography and geology.
Key terms
- Stratigraphy
- The study of how strata are layered and in what order, used to read the age at which strata formed and the environment at the time
- Microfossil
- A fossil so small that it can be seen only under a microscope. Many are plankton shells, and they provide clues to age and environment
- Paleoearthquake
- An earthquake that occurred in a period with no written records. It is studied through traces left in landforms and strata
