SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY: PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS THROUGH SEISMO-STRATIGRAPHIC AND PALYNOLOGIC ANALYSES

PROGRAM: Introducing seismic stratigraphy. Introducing sequence stratigraphy. Processes controlling sedimentation and stratigraphic
sequences. Coastline Trends. Seismics and sequence stratigraphy surfaces. System tracts. Depositional sequence IV. Seismic facies and
paleoenvironmental analysis. Paleoenvironmental reconstructions of shelf-edge system tracts. Paleoenvironmental reconstructions of
system tracts in the continental slope. Paleoenvironmental reconstructions of deep-sea system tracts. Palynofacies and palynomorphs
(pollen, spores, dinocysts and other Non-Pollen-NPP Palynomorphs) to interpret environments and depositional sequences. Description
of the main palynological groups useful for deductions on sea level fluctuations and changes in the deposition environments (marine,
coastal, ...). The transport of palynomorphs in the marine environment. Examples of distribution of palynological associations according
to onshore - offshore transects and their relationship with the cycles of sequential stratigraphy. Case studies.
