Magnitude and Drivers of Short-Term Sea Level Fluctuations in the Cretaceous - A Review

Seds Online via YouTube

Overview

Explore the magnitude and drivers of short-term sea level fluctuations during the Cretaceous period in this comprehensive 1-hour 3-minute lecture. Examine a newly created database of absolute values for Cretaceous sea level rises and falls occurring within 3 million years, revealing an amplitude range of 5 to 65 meters organized in four broad trends. Investigate the potential impact of aquifer eustasy through climate modeling, which demonstrates a maximum effect of 5 to 10 meters. Discover why glacio-eustasy emerges as the primary driver for high-magnitude, short-term sea level changes in the Cretaceous, offering valuable insights into ancient climate dynamics and their effects on global sea levels.
