Sequence stratigraphy emphasizes facies relationships and stratal architecture within a
chronological framework. Despite its wide use, sequence stratigraphy has yet to be included …

Stratal stacking patterns provide the basis for the definition of all units and surfaces of
sequence stratigraphy. The same types of stacking patterns may be observed at different …

The recurrence of the same types of sequence stratigraphic surface through geologic time
defines cycles of change in accommodation or sediment supply, which correspond to …

ABSTRACT The Arabian Plate has experienced a complex tectonic history while also being
widely influenced by eustatic sea-level changes. These diastrophic events either affected …

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 …

The entire African Plate in both its continental and oceanic areas has evolved in distinctive
and unusual ways over the past roughly 30 million years. I attribute these peculiarities to the …

Changes in pCO2 or ocean circulation are generally invoked to explain warm early Miocene
climates and a rapid East Antarctic ice sheet (EAIS) expansion in the middle Miocene. This …

Stratigraphy is defined as the study of layered rocks. In the context of sedimentary geology in
general, and of this book in particular, stratigraphy is the discipline that pulls everything …

Structural interpretation of reflection seismic profiles reveals distinct modes of upper crustal
extension in the Pannonian Basin. While some subbasins in the Pannonian Basin complex …

An amazing congruence of seemingly unrelated, diverse global events began in the Middle
and Upper Miocene and established our modern world. Two global orogenic belts were …
