Well sections are better that outcrops as they are continuous records of sedimentation, especially in the tropics where outcrops degrade so fast. However few wells…

Something I like to stress in teaching is that I do not disagree with the founders of eustatic sequence stratigraphy. Below is an extract from …
A term I use frequently in this blog is that if a “non-Waltherian contact”. This is a deliberately broad description of a horizon in a…
This is a place-holder post for later reference when discussing oxygen isotopes and published eustatic sea level curves. The first figure is my compilation of…
Where did the idea of the Proto-South China Sea come from? A separate, second entry (part 2) discusses new data indicating that there never was…
Explaining uncertainty in a broad subject like geology is usually done in very different terms for each input, or type of observation. If you want…
Why the idea of a Proto-South China Sea is untenable See also notes on the geometry problem of the South China Sea In part 1…
It is a myth that only glacio-eustatic driven processes can change relative sea level by more than 100m in less than a million years Miller…
The following account began in a 1998 IPA field guide to East Java, written by Peter Lunt. Parts of it were copied, un-cited, in a…
Many experimental sciences have recognised a worrying “replication crisis” in their methods. In 2005 John Ioannidis wrote “Why most published research finding are false”; in…
