Stratigraphy

Definition of Stratigraphy as it relates to Science, Earth Science, Oceanography

Stratigraphy is the branch of oceanography that studies the arrangement and composition of sedimentary rock layers, providing crucial insights into Earth's geological history. It involves interpreting depositional environments, ages, and sequences to understand the spatial distribution of minerals and organic matter in deep-sea and coastal sediments. This knowledge is essential for exploring underwater resources and predicting natural hazards like submarine landslides or turbidity currents. Stratigraphy plays a significant role in interdisciplinary research, bridging oceanography with geology, paleontology, and climate studies.
