Publisher Description: In order to undertand the current state of the oceans, researchers turn to the origins of our global waters in the beginning of the Phanerozoic Eon, from 590 million years ago to the present. Sea-level change is a prevailing topic in view of drastic climate shifts, and the greenhouse effect, which causes sea-level change by diminishing or increasing world glacier mass. The world's major scholar in the field, Anthony Hallam brings his expertise to the subject of sea-level change in the Phanerozoic Eon in the first book exclusively devoted to the subject. An appendix on widely used pre-Quarternary stratigraphic stage terms and extensive references are included. |
