Description :
We cannot command the sea though we can still use undifferentiated relative (tectono eustatic) sea-level curves to generate a family of solutions which are the product of a variety of absolute sea-level curves and tectonic models. Each solution has then to be assessed in terms of geological setting and the hypotheses it generates.
