Insolation-Paced Sea Level and Sediment Flux During the Early Pleistocene in Southeast Asia
Offered By: Seds Online via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intriguing findings of a 47-minute conference talk that challenges the conventional understanding of early Pleistocene glacial-interglacial cycles. 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.
