Oceanic Tides: A Response to Differential Force throughout the Earth's History


My undergraduate thesis in physics at Carleton College (2001) was an overviewof the basic forces that give rise to tides, and how the tides signature is manifested on earth, and, consequently, in the sedimentary rock record.
Some of the analysis was incorporated into a paper published in theJournal of Sedimentary Research by Tape, Cowan, and Runkel (pdf).
