Geologisena

Geologisena is a term used in some geoscience literature to denote a holistic approach to interpreting rock records by integrating stratigraphy, mineralogy, geochemistry, and paleobiology to reconstruct Earth history and landscape evolution. The concept emphasizes how lithologic properties, chemical signatures, and fossil assemblages together constrain formation processes, environmental conditions, and temporal change. The name combines elements meant to evoke earth study and a noun-forming suffix, and it is not tied to a single formal doctrine; its usage varies across sources.

The scope of geologisena includes terrestrial and marine sedimentary records, as well as rock-fluid interactions and diagenetic processes that modify primary signals. Researchers who employ geologisena typically use multidisciplinary methods, including radiometric dating, isotope geochemistry, mineralogical analysis, sedimentology, and paleontological inference, to build integrated histories of basins, landscapes, or short- to long-term environmental transitions.

Geologisena originated as a conceptual invitation for cross-disciplinary synthesis in the late 2010s and appears mainly in educational contexts and some speculative discussions rather than as a formal subsequence of geoscience taxonomy. Critics note that without clear definitions and standardized methods, the term can be used loosely; proponents argue it helps bridge gaps between subfields and promotes synthesis.

Examples of geologisena-style work are often pedagogical or hypothetical, illustrating how combined signals can improve interpretations of paleoenvironmental conditions, tectonics, and climate interactions. Related topics include geology, stratigraphy, geochemistry, paleontology, mineralogy, and planetary geology.
