| Identification of distinctive features of chitinozoan populations and contribution in global studies on biodiversity, paleogeography and paleoclimate. |
| Because evaporite sedimentation requires a specific climate and basin setting, their presence in time and space clearly constrains inferences of paleoclimatology and paleogeography. |
| The texture, sedimentary structures, composition, and organic content of carbonates provide numerous insights into the environment of deposition and regional paleogeography. |
| The author is a renowned specialist in paleogeography and is a civilizations historian. |
| Plate tectonics acting over hundreds of millions of years, as in the Canadian Cordillera, have enormous potential to completely scramble the geology and paleogeography. |
| Sea level was higher during most of the Cretaceous than at any other time in Earth history, and it was a major factor influencing the paleogeography of the period. |
