Stratigraphy and Geological Correlation is the only journal that provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamental and applied aspects of stratigraphy and the correlation of geologic events and processes in time and space. Articles are based on the results of multidisciplinary studies and are for researchers, university professors, students, and geologists interested in stratigraphy and the chronological features of the world’s geological record.
