Sequence Stratigraphy: The Book Cliffs of Eastern Utah

Sea-level change has occurred throughout Earth’s history. What can the past tell scientists today about the rise and fall of the planet’s oceans? This program takes viewers on a virtual field trip to the Book Cliffs, in Utah—the place where sequence stratigraphy was developed and tested—to study and interpret the sedimentary record there. Some of the field evidence for sea-level change is shown, along with how the sequence stratigraphy model has been applied to this particular shallow marine and fluvial succession. An excellent combination of location footage supported by detailed on-screen diagrams. Produced by the Open University. (44 minutes)
