Beschreibung
Combining field research of outcrop geology and
investigating the recent formation of carbonate rocks in
coastal environments the author gives an introduction in
sequence stratigraphy. Using computer simulations the book
focuses on four questions, regarding the geometry of
carbonate wedges, sequences comparable with geotectonic
cycles, their influence by geoidal pulses and the
determination of these geoidal pulse distribution in
geological time. Examples from the Alps and Florida show
that ramps and divergent patterns, megabreccias, drowning of
carbonate platforms etc. are results of global short-term
sea level falls, interpreted as geoidal eustasy.
This volume will be a fruitful supplement for the
interpretation and understanding of sequence stratigraphic
sections not only for scientists and students but also for
researchers in the oil andgas industry.
