Using computer simulations the       book\r\nfocuses on four questions, regarding the geometry of\r\ncarbonate     wedges, sequences comparable with geotectonic\r\ncycles, their influence by    geoidal pulses and the\r\ndetermination of these geoidal pulse distribution    in\r\ngeological time. Examples from the Alps and Florida show\r\nthat ramps  and divergent patterns, megabreccias, drowning of\r\ncarbonate platforms etc.  are results of global short-term\r\nsea level falls, interpreted as geoidal    eustasy.\r\nThis volume will be a fruitful supplement for                      the\r\ninterpretation and understanding of sequence stratigraphic\r\nsections not only for scientists and students but also for\r\nresearchers in the oil andgas industry.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11 October 1993\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Berlin Heidelberg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783540562313\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e330\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51213380419724,"sku":"9783540562313","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540562313.jpg?v=1782989110","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540562313","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
