Course Objectives		1. Understanding of geologic time and its importance for geological mapping, mining prospecting, hydrocarbon prospecting and exploration, 2) Learning of basic methods of stratigraphic research, 3) Applications of these methods for sedimentary sequences and crystalline rocks depending on local geological conditions and purpose of study, 4) Operation with complicated natural systems.
Course Description		Stratigraphic sequences provide the most comprehensive record of Earth history. The study of sedimentary rocks is the core of stratigraphy, however metamorphic and igneous bodies cannot be understood without stratigraphy, and studies of metamorphic and igneous rocks help to reconstruct the stratigraphic record. Shortly, stratigraphy is the art of converting spatial relationships of geologic bodies to their temporal relationships. This course is designed to give an introduction to the methods used in stratigraphy. Its first part deals with the basic aspects of sedimentation, lithostratigraphic, and biostratigraphic methods. The second part explains geophysical methods that are used in stratigraphy, applications of stable isotope fluctuations for stratigraphic research, and geochronology. Different approaches of establishing temporal relationships of rocks bodies are summarized at the end of the course
