This book, written by 33 stratigraphic experts, presents various processes available which will enable the location in time of all rock types: sedimentary, metamorphic, plutonic, and eruptive, whether they are in outcrop or at subsurface. The terminology and the appropriate practices for each method are presented in separate chapters and illustrated with concrete examples. The order of the chapters is modeled on the progression of the stratigraphic process, from the descriptive to the interpretative, from the methods of the geometric stratigraphy (lithostratigraphy and genetic stratigraphy, chemostratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy) to the chronological stratigraphy (biostratigraphy), followed ...
Au moment où l’on s’inquiète de l’avenir de notre planète en s’interrogeant sur la validité des modèles climatologiques en présence, il paraît judicieux de jeter un regard rétrospectif sur la manière dont a été façonnée notre conception de la Terre depuis le début du XIXe siècle. Alors que le jeune Cuvier affine par étapes son interprétation catastrophiste de l’histoire de la Terre, celle-ci se précise peu à peu grâce aux progrès cumulatifs de la stratigraphie. La pétrographie suit un autre mode de progression car elle bénéficie de la mise au point de microscopes polarisants de qualité, puis de l’invention de dispositifs techniques permettant de préciser...

The 1st International Congress on Stratigraphy (STRATI 2013), hold in Lisbon, 1–7 July 2013, follows the decision to internationalize the conferences previously organized by the French Committee of Stratigraphy (STRATI), the last one of which was held in Paris in 2010. Thus, the congress possesses both the momentum gained from an established conference event and the excitement of being the first International Congress on Stratigraphy. It is held under the auspices of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (IUGS) and it is envisaged that this first congress will lead to others being held in the future. This book includes all papers accepted for oral or poster presentation at the 1st International Congress on Stratigraphy. Papers include a short abstract, main text, figures, tables and references. Each paper has been reviewed by two internationally renowned scientists.
