Rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy / Kenneth P. Kodama and Linda A. Hinnov.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: New analytical methods in earth and environmental sciencePublication details: Chichester : John Wiley, c2015.Description: vii, 165 p. : illustrations (some color) ; 27 cmISBN:
  • 9781118561287 (cloth)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 551.701 23 K76
Contents:
Chapter 1: Introduction-- Chapter 2: Rock Magnetism-- Chapter 3: Magnetostratigraphy-- Chapter 4: Time series analysis for cyclostratigraphy-- Chapter 5: Milankovitch forcing theory-- Chapter 6: Case Studies of Rock Magnetic Cyclostratigraphy-- Chapter 7: Doing Rock Magnetic Cyclostratigraphy-- Appendix-- Glossary-- Index.
Summary: Rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy merges environmental magnetism, in which rock magnetic measurements are used to detect past environmental change, and cyclostratigraphy, in which cyclic variations of lithology or a sedimentary rock s physical properties are related to astronomically–forced paleoclimate change. In addition to providing paleoclimate data, cyclostratigraphy can establish high–resolution chronostratigraphy for a sequence of sedimentary rocks, even at distant times in Earth s history. This book provides an overview of concepts underlying these two techniques, recipes for the time series analysis of cyclostratigraphy, and case studies to illustrate the variety and breadth of problems addressed by rock magnetic cyclostratigraphy.
