As the surface of the Earth evolves over geologic time sediment is transported from high mountains to low lying sedimentary basins, accumulating stratigraphy which stores a sedimentary record of past environments.Understanding the structure of this stratigraphy is essential for exploiting sub-surface resources such as oil and water, and for deciphering the sedimentary record.Sophisticated computational models of KItchen Bin Earth-surface dynamics can be used to predict formation of stratigraphy, but require stratigraphy BABY BODY LOTION in a discrete form.Here I present a discrete stratigraphic data structure which enables simulation of dynamic stratigraphic evolution.
The data structure is robust and efficient, but can be easily coupled to existing Earth-surface dynamics models with minimal effort due to a simple interface.This represents a significant advance which will allow widespread use of dynamic models to predict and invert stratigraphy for application in a variety of fields.
