The Oligocene and Miocene Epochs include an important levels within the Cenozoic worldwide cooling that led from a greenhouse to an icehouse Earth.
Recent significant advances within the figuring out and time-resolution of weather occasions occurring at the present, in addition to the proliferation of experiences on Oligocene and Miocene shallow-water/neritic carbonate structures, invite us to re-examine the importance of those carbonate platforms within the context of adjustments in weather and Earth floor strategies. Carbonate structures, as a result of a large dependence at the ecological necessities of organisms generating the sediment, are delicate recorders of alterations in environmental stipulations on this planet surface.
The papers incorporated during this targeted e-book deal with the dynamic evolution of carbonate structures deposited throughout the Oligocene and Miocene within the context on climatic and Earth surfaces methods concentrating on climatic traits and controls over deposition; temporal adjustments in carbonate manufacturers and palaeoecology; carbonate terminology; facies; procedures and environmental parameters (including water temperature and construction intensity profiles); carbonate manufacturers and their spatial and temporal variability; and tectonic controls over architecture.
This publication is a part of the International organization of Sedimentologists (IAS) precise Publications.
The distinctive guides from the IAS are a suite of thematic volumes edited by means of experts on topics of relevant curiosity to sedimentologists. Papers are reviewed and revealed to a similar excessive criteria as these released within the magazine Sedimentology and several other of those volumes became normal works of reference.

1997). Schlager (2000, 2003) named his carbonate factory types on a mixture of latitudinal (tropical), temperature (coolwater) and geological structure (mud mound) nomenclature, separating the three main factories based on the mode of carbonate precipitation. In defining carbonate groupings or associations, the nomenclatures used are either descriptive or interpretative. However, interpretative environmental connotations, whether rightly or wrongly, are commonly attached to the original descriptive grain associations of Lees & Buller (1972).
