Marine Carbonate Factories: Sedimentation Patterns and Sequence Stratigraphy
Offered By: Seds Online via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intricacies of marine carbonate factories in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the subdivision of marine carbonate sediment production systems based on carbonate precipitation styles. Examine the main factors controlling marine carbonate precipitation, including light, water temperature, nutrients, salinity, substrate, and carbonate saturation. Investigate site-specific controls such as ocean currents, upwelling systems, and terrestrial inputs. Analyze the distinct sequence stratigraphic patterns for each factory type, including Tropical, Cold-Water Coral, Cool-Water, Microbial, and Planktic factories. Discover how each factory responds uniquely to environmental changes through space and time, influencing sediment production, export, morphologies, and slopes. Gain valuable insights into the complex interplay between carbonate factories and sequence stratigraphy in marine environments.
