First Paragraph
A key component of achieving the goals of STRATAFORM is the development of numerical models that provide a means of exploring how the multitude of physical processes active at margins create the preserved stratigraphic record. Numerical models allow study of a wider range of conditions than can be observed easily in the field, or scaled within a laboratory. They also provide tools for extracting and interpreting critical information about the preserved stratigraphy.
