The Phanerozoic Record of Global Sea-Level Change
Long-term sea level peaked at 100 ± 50 meters during the Cretaceous, implying that ocean-crust production rates were much lower than previously inferred, and presents a new sea-level record for the past 100 million years.
Unlocking the Ice House: Oligocene‐Miocene oxygen isotopes, eustasy, and margin erosion
- K. Miller, J. Wright, R. Fairbanks
- Environmental Science, Geography
- 10 April 1991
Oxygen isotope records and glaciomarine sediments indicate at least an intermittent presence of large continental ice sheets on Antarctica since the earliest Oligocene (circa 35 Ma). The growth and…

Tertiary benthic and planktonic foraminiferal oxygen isotope records are correlated to a standard geomagnetic polarity time scale, making use of improved chronostratigraphic control and additional…
Ocean overturning since the Late Cretaceous: Inferences from a new benthic foraminiferal isotope compilation

[1] Benthic foraminiferal oxygen isotopic (d 18 O) and carbon isotopic (d 13 C) trends, constructed from compilations of data series from multiple ocean sites, provide one of the primary means of…

The Eocene–Oligocene transition is the largest global cooling in the Cenozoic period. A comparison of three independent proxies from the continental shelf and deep ocean reveals a three-step…
Early and Middle Miocene stable isotopes: Implications for Deepwater circulation and climate
- J. Wright, K. Miller, R. Fairbanks
- Environmental Science, Geography
- 1 June 1992
The middle Miocene δ18O increase represents a fundamental change in the ocean-atmosphere system which, like late Pleistocene climates, may be related to deepwater circulation patterns. There has been…
Cenozoic global sea level, sequences, and the New Jersey Transect: Results From coastal plain and continental slope drilling
- K. Miller, G. Mountain, J. Wright
- Geology, Environmental Science
- 1 November 1998
The New Jersey Sea Level Transect was designed to evaluate the relationships among global sea level (eustatic) change, unconformity‐bounded sequences, and variations in subsidence, sediment supply,…
Control of North Atlantic Deep Water Circulation by the Greenland‐Scotland Ridge
Coherent bathymetric features along the Reykjanes Ridge indicate that there were significant changes in the flux of buoyant material within the Icelandic Hot Spot during the Neogene. The radial…
