Explore ancient sedimentary environments through three-dimensional reconstructions in this 59-minute lecture by Akshay Mehra for UW Astrobiology. Delve into the long-term records of physical and biological processes preserved in sedimentary rocks, including changes in seawater chemistry, environmental conditions, and evidence of ancient life. Learn about various techniques used to extract historical information from the sedimentary rock record, with a focus on 3D reconstructions and morphological descriptors. Discover new insights into the evolution of early metazoan life and the response of reefs to large-scale environmental changes on Earth, particularly during the Neoproterozoic and Paleozoic eras.
