Carbonate platform evolution in response to the Mid – Pleistocene climate transition on the North-West Shelf of Australia: Insights from forward stratigraphic modelling
Researchers used forward stratigraphic modelling to reconstruct how Scott Reef, on Australia's Northwest Shelf, grew and changed shape during the Middle Pleistocene Transition, a period when ice age cycles became longer and more extreme. They found that a major sea-level fall around 1.2 million years ago exposed and karstified the reef, while a later long … Read more…
