Eustasy, High-Frequency Sea Level Cycles and Habitat Heterogeneity

Eustatic High-Frequency Sea Level Cycles and Habitat Heterogeneity: Basinal-Regional-Global Implications presents the current understanding and future directions of the research on Cretaceous sea level cycles in a single source. This reference work is for beginners, graduates, and postgraduates who are interested in the subject and intend to venture into serious research. This hybrid text/reference is for beginners, academics, and professionals who intend to document sea level dynamics on long and short time scales and resultant habitat and paleobiodiversity changes.

Presents new and important regional geological knowledge with regard to the sedimentary basins of IndiaProvides a one-stop-shop on high-frequency sea level cycles and fluctuations, and the impact created by tectonics and climatic cyclesContains reviews on the current status, case studies, and a look at future trends
