I met with Jackie on Monday, Feb 22 to discuss different ideas about developing different 3D Models for the sequence stratigraphy exhibit as well as the website. I am still learning some of the more broad geological terms. I found the way Jackie explained most of the concepts to me very easy to understand. This seemingly may mean that this will get across well to the public.
Jackie drew a stratigraphy figure on paper, and then related the layers to different fauna. There was also a sea level chart, explaining the sea level in relation to the stratigraphy figure. And she agreed that she would put explanations next to it. I found this very helpful, visually as well as concept-wise.
I think the point of Sequence Stratigraphy will need to be highly described to the public in detail. Because a person with no background knowledge on this topic would be lost. So far, I have understood sequence stratigraphy to be the study of the layers of Earth. These layers of the Earth can tell stories. Different fauna found in the different layers can tell a story of age as well as natural events and disasters. These layers could also help people be able to find natural resources as well. I have understood this much so far. I think these are interesting points, and can help the public get interested in the topic, because it's just not about determining different layers, it's much more than that.
