Climate-induced fluctuations in sea level during non-glacial times

Climate-induced fluctuations in sea level during non-glacial times

It is argued that in times of limited ice volume, periodic climate-induced changes in lake and groundwater storage have the potential to produce small fluctuations in sea level. Evidence of contemporaneous Milankovitch periodicities in Late Triassic lake sediments and sea-level fluctuation is presen...

Zusammenfassung:It is argued that in times of limited ice volume, periodic climate-induced changes in lake and groundwater storage have the potential to produce small fluctuations in sea level. Evidence of contemporaneous Milankovitch periodicities in Late Triassic lake sediments and sea-level fluctuation is presented.
