The promise of cyclostratigraphy to shed light on Solar System and Earth-Moon dynamics
Offered By: Seds Online via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of cyclostratigraphy and its potential to unravel the mysteries of Solar System and Earth-Moon dynamics in this 1-hour 8-minute lecture. Delve into the quasi-periodic orbital variations of planets, influenced by gravitational forcing and chaotic interactions throughout the Solar System's history. Examine how changes in Earth's rotation, shape, precession, and the receding Moon have affected paleoclimate systems through insolation variations. Learn about innovative strategies for modeling these dynamical factors using cyclostratigraphic data, and discover how cyclostratigraphy provides a continuous record of Solar System and Earth-Moon dynamics across geological time scales.
