Description

The development of the U-series techniques for dating fossil corals is traced and case studies where dating and stratigraphy have provided a consistent picture of a region are presented. Finally a global curve of eustatic sea-level will be developed for the late Pleistocene and the implications of this curve for current theories of glaciations will be discussed. (author)
