Geological Applications

Paleoclimate
What were environmental conditions like when this rock was deposited?
Was it rainy, wet, arid, seasonally dry?

Paleoecology
What plants lived in the area when this rock was deposited?
Were there environmental stresses on that vegetation?

Tectonics
At what altitude were these rocks deposited?
How did tectonic events, such as mountain building, affect local climate?
At what rate do mountains rise?
When did mountain building begin?

Novel methods
If you have a specific application in mind, contact SIREAL. We discuss your application and whether we can accomplish it here.
