Combining stratigraphy and tectonics to understand intermittent deposition on the outer rise offshore Sumatra, Indonesia by Tan, Li Ching

“…We analysed sedimentation patterns against climate-induced relative sea level fluctuations and the estimated ages of our sedimentary packages corresponds with the five glacial cycles in the past 500,000 years during the Pleistocene. We observed that 5 out of 6 sediment pulses were deposited during sea level middle to low stands, when majority of shelf was exposed. …”
