Teaching materials

The following lecture series is designed to provide high-quality teaching materials for both teachers and students who are interested in cyclostratigraphy. We start with a general introduction lecture by Frits Hilgen. This introduction will be followed by regularly updated topical lectures by other experts in the field. Each lecture consists of a video file of the lecture, the original slides with figures, the lecture notes and a literature list containing important used references and further reading. All material is free for usage in any medium or format and may be adapted, provided that appropriate credit is given (CC BY-SA 4.0). Feedback will be greatly appreciated.

The Introduction to our lecture series on cyclostratigraphy is given by Frits Hilgen (Utrecht University, The Netherlands). Frits has over three decades of experience and was one of the pioneers in constructing reference astronomical time scales, as well as in disentangling the oscillating paleoclimate dynamics that underpin the observed rhythmic sedimentation patterns. Besides a trailblazer in cyclostratigraphy, Frits is an excellent teacher and a widely-appreciated motivator for young cyclostratigraphers. These qualities make Frits ideally suited to acquaint you with the interdisciplinary world of cyclostratigraphy.
