Sommario/riassunto |
|
Three major themes are covered: the mechanics of relative sea-level change at active plate margins; the interaction of eustatic and tectonic processes at modern margins; and recognition of the products in the sedimentary record and criteria for distinguishing global eustatic from seismic effects. |
