Marine paleobiodiversity : responses to sea level cycles and perturbations

Marine Paleobiodiversity presents a concise history, development and current status of paleobiodiversity research, thus forming a reference work for beginners, graduates and postgraduates, who are interested in this subject and intend venture into serious research. This book provides a link-reference between text book and highly-specialized journal articles, and so will be valuable for a wide audience of geologists and climatologists. * Presents studies on the human environmental impacts in climate changes, future sea level perturbations and the influence these have on biodiversity * Authored by a renowned researcher with over 15 years’ experience in the field * Includes recent research on the importance of paleobiodiversity patterns that influence sea level fluctuations
