What sedimentary rocks can tell us about sea level change

The new ELI today is part 2 of 'Walther’s law of sedimentation – teaching it the Lego ^TM way: How does a relative fall in sea level affect a vertical sequence of sediments?'

This ELI is a hands-on demonstration of a key principle in sedimentology and stratigraphy, to show how a relative fall in sea level can result in the development of a ‘coarsening-upwards’ sequence.
