Eustatic sea level

Term · Oil and gas · MLC-T-OAG-001337

The global average sea level, which changes due to variations in the volume of ocean water or the capacity of ocean basins. These changes are independent of local tectonic or isostatic movements. Long-term eustatic sea level fluctuations are a primary control on the depositional sequences observed in sedimentary basins.
