However, a lack of consensus on criteria for recognizing, mapping and hence dating sequence boundaries, interpretations of uneven quality, and doubts about the universal eustatic origin and global synchrony of unconformity-related sequences limit the usefulness of sequence stratigraphy in chronostratigraphy.completedStratigraphychronostratigraphydiscontinuitiesinterpretationlowstandsmappingOcean Drilling Programsea-level changessequence stratigraphyunconformitiesEnglishgeoscientificInformation
