Sedimentary record of environmental changes, particularly of catastrophic eventsSediments
are our archives were the history of
our planet is stored. However, it is written in various languages so we
need to
use various dictionaries - indicators of the past conditions (also
called
proxies), to read the story. If we want to predict the future we must
build models. If we want our models to work properly we must test them
against the
past, and to have good data about the past of our planet we need good
sedimentary record.
