Chemostratigraphy Across Major Chronological Boundaries

Chemostratigraphy is the study of the chemical characteristics of different rock layers. Decoding this geochemical record across chronostratigraphic boundaries can provide insights into geological history, past climates, and sedimentary processes. Chemostratigraphy Across Major Chronological Boundaries presents state-of-the-art applications of chemostratigraphic methods and demonstrates how chemical signatures can decipher past environmental conditions.

Volume highlights include:

Presents a global perspective on chronostratigraphic boundaries
Describes how different proxies can reveal distinct elemental and isotopic events in the geologic past
Examines the Archaean-Paleoproterozoic, Proterozoic-Paleozoic, Paleozoic-Mesozoic, and Mesozoic-Cenozoic boundaries
Explores cause-and-effect through major, trace, PGE, and REE elemental, stable, and radiogenic isotopes
Offers solutions to persistent chemostratigraphic problems on a micro to global scale

Geared toward academic and research geoscientists, particularly in the fields of sedimentary petrology, stratigraphy, isotope geology, geochemistry, petroleum geology, atmospheric science, oceanography, climate change and environmental science, Chemostratigraphy Across Major Chronological Boundaries offers invaluable insights into environmental evolution and climatic change.

Public țintă

We anticipate a broad interest from faculty, graduate/undergraduate students and researchers in general on a book like this. We regard this as a primary audience.
The fact that this is perhaps one of first cases in which chronostratigraphical boundaries are spotted from the chemostratigraphic viewpoint, potentially there is a promise of a growing audience. Earth scientist from oil companies and soft rock geologists are potential readers of this book.

Courses
Prof. Sial teaches two courses on chemostratigraphy (30–hour classes each) for post–graduation at the Federal University of Pernambuco:
(a) Chemostratigraphy I covers the Precambrian and Chemostratigraphy II the, the Phanerozoic.

The proposed book will frame mostly the material covered in these two courses. The number of students enrolled is rather variable.
AGU Sections would find this book most relevant
The following AGU sections (decreasing order of importance) may consider this book very relevant or relevant to a certain extent:

Global environmental changes

Bulk sale potential (e.g., to companies)
This is difficult to predict at this stage, but it is possible that large oil companies (e.g., Shell, Chevron, Petrobras), governmental Agencies such as United States Geological Survey (USGS), Geological Survey of Canada, Federal Agency of Mineral Resources (Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment of the Russia Federation), British Geological Survey (BGS), Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM), Geological Suvey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS), Geological Survey of Norway (NGU), Geological Survey of Germany (BGR), Geological Survey of Brazil (CPRM), Universities in general or graduate students be interested in purchasing exemplars of this book.
