Delve into the study of clastic shallow-marine strata in Taiwan, which reveals precession-dominated sea-level fluctuations contrary to the widely accepted "41-kyr world" hypothesis. Examine how high-accommodation creation and sedimentation rates in the basin contribute to a more complete stratigraphic record. Learn about climate cycles, Taiwan's unique geological context, and the conceptual model used in this research. Engage with the presentation, interpretation, and discussion of bioturbated sandstone findings, and participate in a Q&A session to deepen your understanding of this groundbreaking research in Southeast Asian paleoclimatology.
