Eustatic sea-level changes of the Cretaceous are reevaluated based on a synthesis of
global stratigraphic data. A new terminology for local/regional or relative sea-level changes …

The best–documented example of rapid climate change that characterized the so–called
'greenhouse world'took place at the time of the Palaeocene–Eocene boundary: introduction …

The breakup of the former Pangea supercontinent culminated in the modern drifting
continents. Increased rifting caused the establishment of the Atlantic Ocean in the middle …

A compilation of foraminiferal stable isotope measurements from southern high latitude
(SHL) deep-sea sites provides a novel perspective important for understanding Earth's …

It has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book. Much
progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original ideas of Sloss and of …

Carbon stable-isotope variation through the Cenomanian–Santonian stages is
characterized using data for 1769 bulk pelagic carbonate samples collected from seven …

To this day, there is a great amount of controversy about where, when and how the so-called
supercontinents--Pangea, Godwana, Rodinia, and Columbia--were made and broken …

The origin of third-order eustatic sequences is reviewed by comparing recent sequence
stratigraphic data to the latest, best-constrained astronomical model. Middle Eocene to …

The Cretaceous is a special episode in the history of the Earth named for a unique rock type,
chalk. Chalk is similar to modern deep-sea calcareous ooze and its deposition in …

This paper is an attempt to quantify the plausible time scales of clastic sediment supply
variations at the entrance of sedimentary basins. Our approach is based on the sedimentary …
