Giles,John Holbrook,R. Jordan,C.G.St.C. Kendall,B. Macurda,Ole J. Martinsen,Andrew D. Miall,Jack E. Neal,D. Nummedal,Luis Pomar,Henry W. Posamentier,Brian R. Pratt,J. F. Sarg,K. W. Shanley,Ronald J.

TL;DR: In this paper, a model-independent framework of genetic units and bounding surfaces for sequence stratigraphy has been proposed, based on the interplay of accommodation and sedimentation (i.e., forced regressive, lowstand and highstand normal regressive), which are bounded by sequence stratigraphic surfaces.

TL;DR: Catuneanu et al. as discussed by the authors used a neutral approach that focused on model-independent, fundamental concepts, because these are the ones common to various approaches and this search for common ground is what they meant by "standardization", not the imposition of a strict, inflexible set of rules for the placement of sequence-stratigraphicsurfaces.

CO2-Forced Climate and Vegetation Instability During Late Paleozoic Deglaciation
Isabel P. Montañez,Neil J. Tabor,Debbie A. Niemeier,William A. DiMichele,Tracy D. Frank,Christopher R. Fielding,John L. Isbell,Lauren P. Birgenheier,Michael C. Rygel +8 more
TL;DR: Major restructuring of paleotropical flora in western Euramerica occurred in step with climate and pCO2 shifts, illustrating the biotic impact associated with past CO2-forced turnover to a permanent ice-free world.

Stratigraphic imprint of the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age in eastern Australia: a record of alternating glacial and nonglacial climate regime
Christopher R. Fielding,Tracy D. Frank,Lauren P. Birgenheier,Michael C. Rygel,Andrew Jones,John Roberts +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Late Palaeozoic Ice Age comprised at least eight discrete glacial intervals (each 1-8 Ma in duration) separated by nonglacial intervals of comparable duration, and illustrate a pattern of increasing climatic austerity and increasingly widespread glacial ice from initial onset until an acme in the late Early Permian.
