Stratigraphy Lab

Rock Layers

Location: Room 316/334 Geology Geography Building, 210 Field Street, Athens, GA 30602

Research in the Stratigraphy Lab focuses on the integration of sequence stratigraphy and paleobiology. We use a combination of field work, computer modeling, and multivariate statistics in our work. We currently focus on the stratigraphic paleobiology of continental systems, that is, how the processes of stratigraphic accumulation control how the fossil record is assembled and therefore how it should be interpreted. Current projects include:

  • Sequence stratigraphic distribution of fossils
  • Influence of sequence architecture on the interpretation of the fossil record
  • Building sequence stratigraphic frameworks for paleobiological studies

Students interested in combining interests in stratigraphy and paleobiology are encouraged to apply for admission. Financial aid is available for qualified students.

If you are interested in applying for graduate or postdoctoral studies and have an interest in the sequence-stratigraphic architecture or paleobiology of continental systems, please contact Steven Holland at stratum@uga.edu.
