Stratigraphic Standards & Lexicons
Tasks to be carried out by SIS over the next 5 years:
Stratigraphic Code (on-line)
with short-term working groups for revisions, as required.
See the abridged version of the International Stratigraphic Guide
Standards of applied techniques on Stratigraphy
Geochronology, Isotope Stratigraphy (C, O and Sr), Chemostratigraphy, Molecular Organic Geochemistry, Facies Stratigraphy, Magnetostratigraphy, Event Stratigraphy, Cyclostratigraphy, Sequence Stratigraphy.
Regional lithostratigraphic frameworks and time scales
with definitions of regional lithostratigraphic units, photos of type-sections, chronostratigraphic correlations, and references.
Regional biozonal schemes
with definitions of zones and type-sections (link to the iconographic atlases of index fossil species). This would have the enormous advantage of making easily accessible the regional lithostratigraphy and time scales of basins worldwide, with links to related data-bases.
