soil stratigraphy
Explanation:
I know its called soil strata when your doing layers in the soil/earth when sampling.
Found this example where the Swe summary uses your term and the Eng summary uses my suggestion. A quick search gets a lot of hits on this term.
At least you have a term for this Swedish.
