Abstract
Both absolute and elapsed time can be measured to very high precision in sediments that contain climatic signals paced by regular changes in the Earth's orbit, because the orbital changes occur at well-known frequencies. The process of matching climatic signals recorded in sediments to a time template of orbital pacing is referred to as orbital tuning. Tuning involves techniques that range from simple pattern recognition to sophisticated methods of spectral (frequency) analysis. Although orbital tuning derives from statistical analyses of late Pleistocene Ice Age cycles, it has been successfully applied to sedimentary sequences over much of the 200My.
