Modern quantitative-analysis methods, designed to promote data integration and explore patterns in the data, are available but remain underutilized in stratigraphic analysis. Moreover, few university-level instructional programs provide training in the use of these powerful tools. To fill this gap, this book offers an introduction to quantitative methods by which stratigraphic data can be integrated and the historical order of stratigraphic events inferred. Its emphasis is on providing a deep understanding of the concepts, data, and assumptions that underpin each procedure while also viewing these approaches in practical earth-science contexts.   Features include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stand-alone overview that covers the history of using quantitative methods to analyze stratigraphic event orders, a classification of mathematical techniques used, and practical challenges\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA background section for those not familiar with stratigraphic concepts and terms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDetailed discussions of theory, methods, and applications of linear deterministic, probabilistic, and optimization search-based approaches along with hybrid procedures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedicated discussion of two widely applied supplementary analyses: cyclostratigraphy and taxon richness analysis\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":57682607898997,"sku":"9780691245270","price":68.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":57499144225141,"sku":"9780691245263","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780691245270_885d7678-66cf-4bce-89a2-bd39250897ef.jpg?v=1792511549"},{"product_id":"crew-resource-management-training","title":"Crew Resource Management Training","description":"Crew Resource Management Training: Competence, Cognition, and Systems for Airline Pilots delivers an evidence-based approach to Crew Resource Management (CRM) that moves beyond traditional conceptual frameworks to address the realities of modern aviation. It challenges the 'one-size-fits-all' approach to CRM training and introduces a competence-based framework rooted in systems thinking and evolutionary psychology.   This new edition expands the discussion beyond individual pilot behaviour to encompass aviation as an ecosystem. The book offers guidance for personal skills development within the competency paradigm while examining new case studies, including updated analysis of the B-737MAX and regulatory capture. Airlines, pilots, aviation industry professionals, and training organisations will benefit from insights into organisational design and alternative approaches to training that can be immediately applied to enhance safety outcomes, operational efficiency, and organisational resilience in today's rapidly evolving aviation environment.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503566594421,"sku":"9781041258971","price":145.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781041258971.jpg?v=1786867272"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-norman-macleod.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
