A Concise Geologic Time Scale

A Concise Geologic Time Scale: 2016 presents a summary of Earth's history over the past 4.5 billion years, as well as a brief overview of contemporaneous events on the Moon, Mars, and Venus. The authors have been at the forefront of chronostratigraphic research and initiatives to create an international geologic time scale for many years, and the charts in this book present the most up-to-date international standard, as ratified by the International Commission on Stratigraphy and the International Union of Geological Sciences. This book is an essential reference for all geoscientists, including researchers, students, and petroleum and mining professionals. The presentation is non-technical and illustrated with numerous colour charts, maps and photographs. Presents a summary of Earth's history over the past 4.5 billion yearsIncludes a brief overview of contemporaneous events on the Moon, Mars, and VenusIncludes full-color figures including charts, stratigraphic profiles, and photographs to enhance understanding of each geologic periodCorrelates regional geologic stages to the standard definitions approved by the International Commission on StratigraphyOffers an explanation of the methods used to create the time scale2017 PROSE Award Finalist in Earth Science

Autorentext
JAMES OGG (Professor at Purdue University, Indiana, USA) was Secretary General of the International Commission on Stratigraphy (2000-2008), and is currently serving as coordinator of that ICS stratigraphy information service. His Mesozoic Stratigraphy Lab group works on aspects of climate cycles, magnetic polarity correlations and integration of stratigraphic information. Their TimeScale Creator array of visualization tools for extensive databases in global and regional Earth history was used to generate many of the diagrams in this book.
