Description: Using well and seismic data, the authors demonstrate that the 2000-m Tertiary carbonate section in the Maldives offers new concepts in carbonate modeling, as well as a model of vast spatial extent. Significant inferences can be made in the Maldive model with relation to Pliocene-Pliestocene glacial sea-level fluctuations.
Description: The fragile Antarctic environment consists of a closely linked system of the lithosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere. Changes in this system have influenced global climate, oceanography and sea level for most of Cenozoic time. The geological history of this region therefore provides a special record of important interactions among the various components of the Earth System. Antarctic Marine Geology is the first comprehensive single-authored book to introduce students and researchers to the geological history of the region and the unique processes that occur there. Research literature on the region is widely disseminated, and until now no single reference has existed that provides such a summary. The book is intended as a reference for all scientists working in Antarctica, and will also serve as a textbook for graduate courses in Antarctic marine geology.
