------------------------------------------------- The world of Geology has been brought to a new age of observation‚ interpretation and reasoning with the arrival of Sequence Stratigraphy. What is Sequence Stratigraphy? What is its purpose? How does it serve Geology? Sequence stratigraphy is uniquely focused on analyzing changes in facies and geometric character of strata and identification of key surfaces to determine the

Revolution and the Enlightenment. Charles Lyell 1797 - 1875 James Hutton 1726 - 1797 However‚ by the end of the 18th century‚ new ideas were proposed by many; James Hutton and Charles Lyell among them. Hutton‚ considered to be “the father of geology”‚ wrote his uniformitarian explanations for the formation of sedimentary rock and a comprehension of geological time (also known as Deep time) in the late 18th century. Lyell‚ a geologist‚ worked using Hutton’s ideas as a foundation and had findings

There are several people in the world of geology that got us to the things we know today‚ but there were a few who set the base of what we know today. Those few people are: James Hutton‚ Charles Lyell‚ and Nicolaus Steno. Hutton is most widely known for the idea of actualism. Lyell is known for continuing Hutton’s idea and coming up with uniformitarianism‚ and Steno is known for his three principles of sedimentary rocks. James Hutton was a Scottish farmer who set the way of actualism. Actualism

Colorado is located in the mid western part of the United States‚ bordered by Wyoming‚ Utah‚ Arizona‚ New Mexico‚ Oklahoma‚ Kansas and Nebraska. “Being located as a mid-latitude interior continental state (and having the highest average elevation in the United States)‚ combined with complex topography‚ results in dramatic climate differences from place to place and from year to year. From the Great Plains of eastern Colorado to the high peaks of the Rockies and the Continental Divide‚ to the valleys
