Elsevier SST ManuscriptsBelow are the two manuscripts as submitted in draft form, along with their illustrations, and the documents referenced in the manuscripts. These are subject to change as they go through the editing process. Power point lectures used in historical geology to introduce the Wilson cycle model. These have evolved and continue to evolve over the years. Where we know the sources of picture or figures that are not ours we have hyperlinked them. If you want high quality versions of any of our figures send us a note. Feel free to use, adapt, and modify these power points in any way you choose. We request only that the source be acknowledged.
Figures used in the paper.
Lab instructions we use in each Wilson cycle lab are linked below. Feel free to use and modify these in any way that is useful to you.
Rock Identification Keys: we provide keys to help students do their identifications. These classificatons are more involved than in introductory classes, but are the keys we use in historical geology, so they carry over directly into SST. These more advanced rock identifications are often necessary to do these Wilson cycle exercises at an advanced level.
SAATS Basin Analysis Models Figure 1 contains two theoretical SAATS (Subsidence-Accommodation-Accumulation-Time-Series) models developed in SST to understand foreland and rift-to-drift basin development. These basin analsis models are where stratigraphy/sedimentation/deposystems studies integrate with tectonics. The rationale for these is not presented in this paper. References are at back of the paper. Below are links to two power points presenting the empirical and theoretical rationale behind these models. These are extracted from the class lectures where these models are developed; the full power points - not linked here - explore complications and exceptions to the models. Permission is given to use, modify, add to, subtract from these slides for educational purposes, as long as the source is acknowledged.
