This page contains an mpeg movie of the simulation that Dr. Flemings discussed in class. To quit the movie, simply click on button 3 of your mouse with the pointer in the grey area at the top of the window that is displaying the movie.
Movie 1: The movie illustrates the evolution of stratigraphic facies (as defined by water depth) through time with a simple sinusoidal change in sealevel. This sealevel curve can be viewed by clicking on the wheeler diagram line. If you cannot view the movie, you can look at the images below:
