Stratigraphic

The problem is that we only have direct measurement data from the late 19th century forward; prior to that, the data is inferential, deduced from ice cores, tree rings, sedimentation, and other techniques, which are largely stratigraphic, and which do not render precise thermography data. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The sinuous patterns that you see on the sides of these modeled landscape correspond to actual stratigraphic markings in the real world — earth's own hieroglyphs that can be read and interpreted, allowing one to piece together a biography. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Since a few cites identify the original quote-tablet as "Babylonian" instead, I suspect that this one was mixed in from a much later stratigraphic layer from the 6th century BC. ❋ Unknown (2010)

There are scientists actively trying to persuade their peers that this isn't just an esoteric notion, the stuff of environmental conferences, but a stratigraphic fact, a real geological divider every bit as real as the Permian-Triassic boundary or anything else in the record. ❋ Unknown (2010)

"If you could stand there, you would see this beautiful formation of Martian sediments laid down in the past, a stratigraphic section that's more than twice the height of the Grand Canyon, though not as steep," said Bradley Thomson of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Md. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Whether to formalize the Anthropocene or not is a question that will be decided on geological, and, more precisely, stratigraphic grounds. ❋ Sou (2010)

There are scientists actively trying to persuade their peers that the Anthropocene is a stratigraphic fact, as real as the Permian-Triassic boundary. ❋ Unknown (2010)

I've been watching the ANDRILL project, a multi-national collaborative effort to to recover stratigraphic records from the Antarctic. ❋ Dave (2009)

However, a general lack of precise absolute timescales and regionally-to - globally synchronous stratigraphic markers makes long-distance correlation between sites problematic, and inferred terrestrial changes are difficult to place within the temporal framework of changes in ice volume and sea level [24]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

These positions (2-3) are open for interested students and involve acquiring experience with the geology and paleontology of the park through working with the park paleontologist and geologist in fossil prospecting, learning fossil collection techniques (including excavation), documenting new and historic localities, conducting basic geological mapping and stratigraphic work, learning fossil preparation, and becoming familiar with the role of the National Park Service in resource protection and resource interpretation. ❋ ReBecca Foster (2009)

Given the inherent errors in dating techniques, gaps in the stratigraphic record, and the varying rates of response of different biological proxy indicators, there is considerable uncertainty about the timing of specific events and whether climate changes were truly synchronous in different regions. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Interns will record data relevant to each site including GPS coordinates and photographs as well as geological and stratigraphic data. ❋ ReBecca Foster (2009)

The response of aquatic ecosystems to the climate induced changes during the Holocene has been inferred from lake-sediment and peat stratigraphic records. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The possible Oldness of the World does not give C-14 speculations a free pass nor stratigraphic ideas that are needed to bolster failed Darwinian speculations. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The racemization data refute confidence in C-14 data and probably lots of other stratigraphic speculations. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Note that standing diversities were much lower than the values shown; many of the taxa found in a stratigraphic interval did not coexist. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Foote, personal communication gives the number of taxa that must have coexisted at the points shown; however, because traditional stratigraphic boundaries are based on times of unusual taxonomic turnover, these estimates may underestimate typical standing diversities. ❋ Unknown (2009)
