Classically orbital cycles have been recognized in pelagic and
lacustrine sequences characterized by quiet sedimentation, not
disturbed by tectonics. Hoiwever, there is now increasing
recognition that orbital cycles do influence climate and
oceanography in general terms. There is also increasing acceptance
of the possibility at least that the effect should be felt over
large parts of the Earth’s surface and that orbital cycles may well
leave signs in other sedimentary environments that are commonly
considered to be dominated by tectonics and eustasy. Containing
thirty-one papers from a symposium held at the International
Sedimentological Congress in Nottingham in 1990, this volume spans
a range of topics from the astronomical theory behind orbital
forcing, to field studies dealing with a broad range of sedimentary
environments, and to modelling and simulation.
* * State-of-the-art research papers.
* International expert authorship.
* The latest research in the highly topical subject of orbital
forcing.
