Level-Compiler

1. About

Level Compiler (LC) is an integrated stratigraphic management software capable of creating and managing correlation models of sedimentary sequences. The system enables the management of multiple sediment cores on a unified depth or age scale. It also incorporates a "divider" that reprojects actual stratigraphic samples onto modelled depths, facilitating precise correlation across different researchers.
