Reconstructing past ocean temperatures has major scientific implications, including insights into Earth’s radiation balance, the CO₂ cycle, and climate-driven limits on biodiversity and biomass. Surface temperature patterns also influence ocean circulation, oxygen levels, and sea level changes. This

In the talk, several conceptual models of escarpment retreat will be presented, with an emphasis on non-catastrophic processes involved in caprock in situ disintegration. This will be followed by the examination of the role of subsurface processes in the evolution of tablelands in clastic and presentation of tools available to recognize that the role is indeed very important.
