Programme
THE COURSE IS MADE OF THREE MODULES. THE FIRST MODULE PROVIDES THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE STRATIGRAPHIC NOMENCLATURE. THE MAIN FEATURES OF THE STRTIGRAPHIC UNITS ARE DESCRIBED AND THEIR USE IS GAINED DURING THE EXERCISES. THE SECOND MODULE PROVIDES THE PRINCIPLES OF THE SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHY WITH APPLICATIONS TO DIFFERENT SEDIMENTARY ENVIRONMENTS AND TO SEISMIC STRATIGRAPHY. THIS MODULE ALSO PROVIDES THE PRINCIPLES OF CYCLOSTRATIGRAPHY AND ASTROCHRONOLOGY. THESE CONCEPTS ARE EXAMINED IN CASE STUDIES FROM LITERATURE. THE THIRD MODULE IS DEDICATED TO REGIONAL STRATIGRAPHY. STARTING FROM A PALAEOGEOGRAPHIC RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MESOZOIC TETHYAN AREA, AN IDEAL ROUTE TROUGH THE MAIN SEDIMENTARY DOMAINS IS FOLLOWED. IN PARTICULAR, THE MAIN BASIN SUCCESSIONS (LA SPEZIA, TOSCANA, UMBRIA-MARCHE, LAGONEGRO AND MOLISE, IMERESE-SICANO BASIN) ARE EXAMINED. SOME CASES OF PELAGIC CARBONATE PLATFORM AND THE TRANSITION PLATFORM/BASIN OF THE GARGANO SUCCESSION ARE STUDIED TOO. FINALLY, THE STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATIUM-ABRUZZI AND DOLOMITES CARBONATE PLATFORMS IS INVESTIGATED.Core Documentation
