Sedimentary geology has, like many areas of geology, traditionally been mostly an observational science. However, this is slowly changing. Using more quantitative methods, we can improve our understanding of how sediments accumulate and what individual beds may show of deep time environmental changes. For example this approach means we can better understand any patterns in the layers and if so what they are recording, such as possible cycles of change in the environment.
