This textbook describes how past changes in sea-level can be detected through analysis of the sedimentary record. In particular, it concentrates on the theory of sequence stratigraphy, which provides a framework for how entire sedimentary systems evolve through geological time. …
The sedimentary record of sea-level change

Type: Book
This illustrated textbook describes how past changes in sea-level can be detected through an analysis of the sedimentary record, and how sequence stratigraphy techniques can provide explanations of how the sedimentary system evolves through geological time. Designed for use in u…
Our planet is in peril. Seas are rising, oceans are acidifying, ice is melting, coasts are flooding, species are dying, and communities are faltering. Despite these dire circumstances, most of us don't have a clear sense of how the interconnected crises in our ocean are affectin…

This volume presents the most recent results of global mean sea level variations over the satellite altimetry era (starting in the early 1990s) and associated contributions, such as glaciers and ice sheets mass loss, ocean thermal expansion, and land water storage changes. Sea l…

This dissertation presents results from the use of geophysical methods to study conditions beneath glaciers, including bed physical properties, topography, melting, and water flow. Chapter 1 briefly reviews the history of study and importance of Thwaites Glacier (TG), West Antar…
The Giant Foresets Formation in the Taranaki Basin defines the present-day continental margin of the west coast of New Zealand’s North Island. Using regional 2D and 3D seismic datasets calibrated with exploration wells, this thesis presents a new highresolution seismic stratigra…
Glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is the ongoing response of the viscoelastic solid Earth, oceans and the gravitational field to the previous burden of the ice loads. The Earth’s surface was once covered with massive ice sheets, and melting of these ice sheets is still reshapin…
