Summary:

Eustatic High-Frequency Sea Level Cycles and Habitat Heterogeneity: Basinal-Regional-Global Implications presents the current understanding and future directions of the research on Cretaceous sea level cycles in a single source. This reference work is for beginners, graduates, and postgraduates who are interested in the subject and intend to venture into serious research. This hybrid text/reference is for beginners, academics, and professionals who intend to document sea level dynamics on long and short time scales and resultant habitat and paleobiodiversity changes.

Contents:

Defining habitat and habitat heterogeneity

Sequences, sea-level cycles, and habitat dynamics

Influence of sea-level on facies and habitat heterogeneity

The Cauvery Basin of South India: a test case

Depositional history and habitat heterogeneity

Proxies for habitat heterogeneity and dynamics

Implications and future trend.
