In order to estimate vertical uplift, the eustatic position of the considered paleo sea levels relative to the present one must be known as precisely as possible.
22.
Although there is debate among earth scientists whether we are currently experiencing a " high stand " it is generally accepted that the eustatic sea level is rising.
23.
Thus the Caspian ecosystem is a closed basin, with its own sea level history that is independent of the eustatic level of the world's oceans.
24.
During the end of deposition of the Taylor formation, the eustatic regression had brought sea-level down to the present day shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico.
25.
In all likelihood, during such events the depositional environment would fluctuate between submarine and subaerial as sea-floor levels will have fluctuated as well as eustatic sea-levels.
26.
Furthermore, with the knowledge of eustatic sea level fluctuations the speed of isostatic uplift can be estimated and eventually the change of relative sea levels for certain regions can be reconstructed.
27.
The lowermost formation is the " Lower Marine Molasse " ( in eustatic drop of the sea level combined by tectonic uplift, the basin was now above sea level.
28.
When the elevations of these terraces are higher than the uncertainties in paleo-eustatic sea level mentioned for the Holocene and Late Pleistocene, these uncertainties have no effect on overall interpretation.
29.
The close correlation between population trends, regional temperatures, and eustatic sea levels suggest a dominant role for global and local climate changes in shaping the baiji's ancient population demography.
30.
This information leads scientists to conclude that a bottleneck must have occurred near the end of the last deglaciation, a time that coincided with rapid temperature decrease and a rise in eustatic sea level.
