Quantitative Methods in Stratigraphy: A Multi-Proxy Palaeoenvironmental Analysis of Outcrop and Core Data explores the current advances in technology, offering a wide range of quantitative geophysical, geochemical, and spectral methods, which are less expensive, timesaving, and often non-destructive. The book first outlines the main principles and applications of stratigraphy and paleoenvironmental analysis. Chapters then work methodically through quantitative data in stratigraphy, gamma-ray methods, magnetic susceptibility and magnetometry, and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Near infrared (NIR) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy as well as energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) spectroscopy are reviewed in- depth. With the wide range of now affordable quantitative methods, high-resolution sampling, and large datasets available across strata, outcrop research can offer unprecedented potential for outcrop-to-core-to-well log correlation, and subsequent (paleo)environmental analysis while keeping data reproducibility at a high level. This book serves as a useful reference guide for geoscientists, academicians, and researchers, helping them keep pace with advances in technology and instrumentation and conduct state-of-the-art research in geosciences.

Native to Czech Republic, Ondrej Bábek received his MSc and PhD in Geology from the Masaryk University, Brno, Czechia. During his subsequent academic career at the Palacky University of Olomouc, he focused on various aspects of sedimentology and stratigraphy including conodont biostratigraphy, carbonate microfacies, diagenesis and sequence stratigraphy, applications of gamma-ray spectrometry, element geochemistry, shallow geophysics in palaeoenvironmental analysis and anthropogenic impact analysis of Recent sedimentary archives. Ondrej has experience with leadership of many national projects, and with field research of sedimentary successions from Ordovician to Holocene in many countries of Europe, America, Asia and Africa. Ondrej has served the scientific community as a National Correspondent of International Association of Sedimentologists, a voting member of the Subcommission of Carboniferous Stratigraphy, the main convenor of the IAS Meeting of Sedimentology in Prague, 2020, and the member of editorial boards of Sedimentary Geology and Bulletin of Geosciences.
