Refinement and Validation of the Sequence Model
Abstract
A key goal of the STRATAFORM program has been to use observations of sedimentary processes operating on short time scales to improve our understanding of the development of stratigraphic sequences over time scales of 104 - 106 years. Tremendous progress in modeling sedimentary processes has been made under the program. However, further work is needed to achieve the goal of a process-based model for predicting the development of stratigraphic sequences. The Post-STRATAFORM modeling effort is focused on two integrative, sequence-oriented modeling systems based on the SEDFLUX and SEQUENCE models.
