- W942809585 abstract "Eustatic and epeirogenic trends may be independently quantified given knowledge of flooding patterns for multiple, coexisting, tectonically-independent land-masses. Herein, we develop a method of analyzing paleo-continental flooding records in order to reconstruct both global sea-level trends and individual continental epeirogenic histories. Our method is based on the hypotheses that: 1) co-existing landmasses are likely to have experienced the same range of eustatic fluctuations, 2) differences in flooding are thus primarily a function of differences in coastal hypsometry, and 3) differences in estimated sea-level elevations between individual landmasses and the world may reflect continental epeirogeny. We apply the method to the flooding records of 13 Paleozoic landmasses for which detailed paleogeographic reconstructions are available (Ronov and others, 1984; Khain and Seslavinsky, 1991). Our analysis indicates that Paleozoic eustatic highstands were probably +100 to +225 m above present sea level, which is substantially lower than previous estimates of +300 m (Vail and others, 1977) to +600 m (Hallam, 1984). Reconstructed epeirogenic histories suggest that Paleozoic continents experienced ±100 m of independent vertical motion relative to global sea level at a 10–40 m.y. timescale. Most large epeirogenic excursions coincided with major tectonic events such as rifting, passive-to-active margin transitions, and continental collisions, and may reflect a range of epeirogenic mechanisms for Paleozoic continents comparable to that documented for modern continents. Close links between eustasy and continental epeirogeny are suggested by the antithetic pattern of Gondwanan crustal motions and global sea-level elevations during the mid-Paleozoic." @default.
