Purpose of this site
Using a combination of linked text, images, and short movies this site is designed to help the above users gain an instant understanding of the principles of sequence stratigraphy and other aspects of sedimentary geology. Often persons exposed to this topic for the first time, even experienced sedimentary stratigraphers, are confused with the extensive terminology of this burgeoning science and the complex geometric response of the sedimentary record to changing rates of sedimentation and relative sea level (whether this latter is the product of world wide changes in sea level [eustasy], or vertical tectonic movement). This web site is designed to help navigate these common problems while helping improve the users understanding of the sedimentary section of the earths crust and the principles of this important earth science discipline.

Editorial Board
STRATA under SEPM overview has created a volunteer Board of Edtiors, who under the leadership of Chris Kendall (Chief Editor) will be used to review both the current content of the site, review new submitted content and solicit new content.
