Eustatic Rise
Linked via "glacial ice volume"
Primary Drivers of Eustatic Volume Change
The vast majority of quantifiable eustatic fluctuations over the Phanerozoic Eon can be attributed to two main reservoirs: glacial ice volume and thermal expansion of seawater.

Flooding Cycles
Linked via "glacial ice volume"
The long-term manifestation of flooding cycles is heavily influenced by relative sea-level change. In tectonically active regions, localized tectonic subsidence can effectively "lock in" a condition of chronic inundation, even under stable global sea levels. This is often observed along passive continental margins where the viscous relaxation of deep lithospheric structures imposes a downward strain rate of approximately $1$ to $3 \text{ mm/year}$ [4].
Furthermore, global [eustatic ch…
