The new paradigm of sequence stratigraphy attempts to discern the
migration of facies resulting from changes in eustatic, tectonic
and sedimentary regimes in order to anticipate the locus and type
of sediment deposition. It is rapidly becoming an indispensable
tool for the prediction of facies in exploration and production
geology and for discerning internal stratal architecture through
high-resolution studies of oil fields for enhanced hydrocarbon
exploitation. The discipline is in a state of rapid expansion. New
case studies of its application are vital to an appreciation of the
full potential of the methodology. The variety of studies published
here collectively exemplify the response of the depositional
systems to various governing factors that create or destroy
accommodation space, modify sediment flux, and/or alter coastal and
offshore productivity in a number of depositional environments and
temporal scales. The volume contains articles that emphasize
sequence biostratigraphy, sequence ecostratigraphy, the
peculiarities of reefal and non-reefal carbonate platforms,
computer simulation of basin sediment fill, global rates of coal
deposition in terms of eustatic changes and the behavior of mixed
siliclastic-carbonate systems. The papers also cover documentation
of sequences in intervals ranging from the Paleozoic to Miocene.
One article identifies a previously ignored, but potentially
significant, mechanism of eustatic change during non-glacial
periods and the possible anthropogenic component of sea-level rise
during the twentieth century. Finally, a more speculative article
presents the case for an extraterrestrial connection as a source
for third-order eustatic cycles. The casestudies go a long way to
further document the variations on the basic themes of sequence
stratigraphy and enhance its value as a predictive tool in
exploration and production geology.
