Cyclostratigraphy identifies and measures regular cycles in sedimentary successions and interprets them as records of periodic forcing, mainly the variations of the Earth’s orbit and axis. Astronomical tuning assigns ages to a succession by matching its cycles, one by one, to a computed astronomical series (eccentricity, obliquity, precession or insolation), which turns the cycles into an age model.
