Graphic Correlation - An increasing number of geologists have begun to use graphic correlation because they find this robust technique provides finer stratigraphic resolution and better accuracy and precision than traditional zonations. This volume presents the graphic correlation method, recent methodological developments, and a number of technical papers exemplifying the technique. This collection of papers presents a summary of the technique as currently practiced and it should provide a starting point for those interested in high resolution stratigraphy through graphic correlation. Graphic correlation continues to develop and spread as more geologists use this important and innovative technique. Its potential is only beginning to become realized.
