Phanerozoic Sea-Level Changes

Synthesizing a wide range of facies and stratigraphic studies to evaluate sea-level changes and paleontologic patterns in the three Phanerozoic eras, the book takes note of this influential though controversial research done by Exxon Corporation. It also addresses the contested issue of whether changes in sea level came about as a result of eustatic factors or from a series of events relating to regional tectonics.
