Sequence Stratigraphy of the Book Cliffs of Eastern Utah, The

Synopsis: A major concern of the environmental change that we are experiencing at present is sea-level rise. However, sea-level change is nothing new, it has occurred throughout Earth’s history. One powerful method for studying sea-level change in the past is sequence stratigraphy; this involves high resolution study and interpretation of the sedimentary record. This video is a ‘virtual field trip’ to one of the classic locations in the World (Book Cliffs, Utah, USA) where the sequence stratigraphy method was developed and tested. The video shows some of the field evidence for sea-level change and how the sequence stratigraphy model has been applied to this shallow-marine and fluvial succession.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
