摘要
The research on cyclostratigraphy has made great progress over the past 30 years, and it has contributed to the understanding and solutions of numerous scientific problems in the field of Earth Science. Now cyclostratigraphy has been defined as “the subdiscipline of stratigraphy that deals with the identification, characterization, correlation, and interpretation of cyclic variations in the stratigraphic record and, in particular, with their application in geochronology by improving the accuracy and resolution of time-stratigraphic frameworks”. The lithological, facies, geophysical and geochemical parameters have been adopted extensively in the cyclostratigraphy analysis.
