This book was released on 1998 with total page 818 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was designed to build a documented chronostratigraphic and outcrop record of depositional sequences calibrated across European basins. Data on standard stages, magnetostratigraphy, and geochronology integrated with high resolution biostratigraphy calibrate the stratigraphic position of depositional sequence boundaries. Higher order eustatic sequences show a significant increase in the number identified. A good portion of the European Mesozoic and Cenozoic succession is set in the sequence stratigraphic context with a stratigraphic record of its bonding surfaces.

Download or read book Eocene Sequence Stratigraphy of the North Sea Basin written by Benjamin John Sloan and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eocene elastic sediments of the central and northern North Sea comprise five stratigraphic sequences. Oldest is the sand-dominated, basin-centered Frigg sequence, which includes submarine fan and apron deposits on the Beryl Terrace and in the Central and Viking Grabens. Middle Eocene Lower and Upper Hordaland sequences are mixed mud and sand units which prograded from the East Shetland Platform and Moray Firth and include discrete slope aprons and basin-center fans. The thin, regressive sand-prone Belton sequence marks the top of the Eocene in most of the basin, except on the eastern margin of the Shetland Platform, where the foreshelf pro grading prism of Thet sequence sandstones and siltstones was deposited. Foraminiferal biofacies analysis of a well on the Beryl Terrace indicates that four or the five sequence boundaries coincide with significant changes in the benthic and planktic foraminiferal assemblages. Cluster analysis confirms the distinct biofacies characterizing each sequence, an impoverished coarsely agglutinated fauna with radiolaria in the Frigg sequence, normal abundances or coarsely agglutinated forms in the Hordaland units, and "Velasco"-type deep-water calcareous benthics in the Upper Eocene, including planktic foraminifera in the Belton. Paleoenvironmental analysis or these biofacies shows an overall Eocene shallowing from lower slope to outer shelf. Subsidence analysis using the derived water depths indicates that the Eocene was part or a major phase of subsidence which began in the Late Paleocene and abated by Oligocene time. Overall, the Eocene constitutes a tectonosequence, or stratigraphic sequence attributable to tectonic influences. Eocene circum-North Sea tectonics include Atlantic domain seafloor-spreading to the north and west and the encroaching Alpine compression from the south. The base Eocene, top Frigg, and top Eocene all correlate with changes in seafloor spreading thought to have contributed, through intraplate stresses, to the stress regime and differential topography of the source area and basin. Latest Eocene eustatic lowering, climatic cooling, and Arctic water circulation are thought to have influenced the Thet sequence.

Download or read book Proxies in Late Cenozoic Paleoceanography written by C. Hillaire-Marcel and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-05-25 with total page 863 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present volume is the first in a series of two books dedicated to the paleoceanography of the Late Cenozoic ocean. The need for an updated synthesis on paleoceanographic science is urgent, owing to the huge and very diversified progress made in this domain during the last decade. In addition, no comprehensive monography still exists in this domain. This is quite incomprehensible in view of the contribution of paleoceanographic research to our present understanding of the dynamics of the climate-ocean system. The focus on the Late Cenozoic ocean responds to two constraints. Firstly, most quantitative methods, notably those based on micropaleontological approaches, cannot be used back in time beyond a few million years at most. Secondly, the last few million years, with their strong climate oscillations, show specific high frequency changes of the ocean with a relatively reduced influcence of tectonics. The first volume addresses quantitative methodologies to reconstruct the dynamics of the ocean andthe second, major aspects of the ocean system (thermohaline circulation, carbon cycle, productivity, sea level etc.) and will also present regional synthesis about the paleoceanography of major the oceanic basins. In both cases, the focus is the “open ocean leaving aside nearshore processes that depend too much onlocal conditions. In this first volume, we have gathered up-to-date methodologies for the measurement and quantitative interpretation of tracers and proxies in deep sea sediments that allow reconstruction of a few key past-properties of the ocean( temperature, salinity, sea-ice cover, seasonal gradients, pH, ventilation, oceanic currents, thermohaline circulation, and paleoproductivity). Chapters encompass physical methods (conventional grain-size studies, tomodensitometry, magnetic and mineralogical properties), most current biological proxies (planktic and benthic foraminifers, deep sea corals, diatoms, coccoliths, dinocysts and biomarkers) and key geochemical tracers (trace elements, stable isotopes, radiogenic isotopes, and U-series). Contributors to the book and members of the review panel are among the best scientists in their specialty. They represent major European and North American laboratories and thus provide a priori guarantees to the quality and updat of the entire book. Scientists and graduate students in paleoclimatology, paleoceanography, climate modeling, and undergraduate and graduate students in marine geology represent the target audience. This volume should be of interest for scientists involved in several international programs, such as those linked to the IPCC (IODP – Integrated Ocean Drilling Program; PAGES – Past Global Changes; IMAGES – Marine Global Changes; PMIP: Paleoclimate Intercomparison Project; several IGCP projects etc.), That is, all programs that require access to time series illustrating changes in the climate-ocean system. Presents updated techniques and methods in paleoceanography Reviews the state-of-the-art interpretation of proxies used for quantitative reconstruction of the climate-ocean system Acts as a supplement for undergraduate and graduate courses in paleoceanography and marine geology

Download or read book Global Palaeoclimate of the Late Cenozoic written by V.A. Zubakov and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1990-03-20 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a detailed description of the history and chronology of global climate based on event-signal stratigraphy. The history of global climate is described for the last fifty million years with the description for the last one million years in detail. Climatostratigraphic sequences of twelve key regions are taken as a basis, eight of them situated in the USSR territories. Chronology of climatic events of the Pleistocene, Pliocene and Miocene is developed based on palaeomagnetic and radiometric data. The authors' version of its correlation with oxygene-isotope scales of deep-sea sediments is given. Theoretical problems of climatic stratigraphy and palaeoclimatology are discussed, in particular, the causes of climatic change. The Northern Hemisphere palaeoclimatic reconstructions are made for the Holocene, Eemian and Pliocene temperature optima, considered as possible palaeoanalogues of climate of the 21st Century. The book is intended primarily for a wide circle of scientific workers, palaeoclimatologists and palaeogeographers, but will also interest geologists, biologists, palaeomagnetologists and archaeologists.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, submarine-mass failures or mass-transport deposits have been a focus of increasingly intense investigation by academic institutions particularly during the last decade, though they received much less attention by geoscientists in the energy industry. With recent interest in expanding petroleum exploration and production into deeper water-depths globally and more widespread availability of high-quality data sets, mass-transport deposits are now recognized as a major component of most deep-water settings. This recognition has lead to the realization that many aspects of these deposits are still unknown or poorly understood. This volume contains twenty-three papers that address a number of topics critical to further understanding mass-transport deposits. These topics include general overviews of these deposits, depositional settings on the seafloor and in the near-subsurface interval, geohazard concerns, descriptive outcrops, integrated outcrop and seismic data/seismic forward modeling, petroleum reservoirs, and case studies on several associated topics. This volume will appeal to a broad cross section of geoscientists and geotechnical engineers, who are interested in this rapidly expanding field. The selection of papers in this volume reflects a growing trend towards a more diverse blend of disciplines and topics, covered in the study of mass-transport deposits.
