Teaching about Time part of Rates and Time:Workshop 2012:Essays
My research focusses on millennial-, orbital- and My-scale paleoclimate cycles in marine sedimentary rocks, so dealing with trying to determine absolute time and rates in sedimentary successions is essential for me. Because of this, I stress time in sedimentary successions in my classes (Earth History, Sedimentology-Stratigraphy, Carbonate Sedimentology).
