Summary: Sedimentary Geology and Paleobiology supports studies of:
(1) the changing aspects of life, ecology, environments, and biogeography in geologic time based on fossil organisms
(2) all aspects of the Earth’s sedimentary lithosphere – its insights into the geological processes and rich organic and inorganic resources locked in rock sequences
(3) the science of dating and measuring the sequence of events and rates of geological processes as manifested in Earth’s past sedimentary and biological (fossil) record
(4) the geologic record of the production, transportation, and deposition of modern and ancient physical and chemical sediments
(5) understanding Earth’s deep-time (pre-Holocene) climate systems.
Keywords: sediments, Paleobiology, geologic time
