On the curve, about 36 cycles of sea level changes can be recognized with periods ranging from 0.08 Ma to 0.29 Ma, which are fallen into 4th order of sea level cycles. The curve is compared with the reprocessed deep-sea stable oxygen isotope data from benthic foraminifera on ODP sites 1,148 and 846 by resampling and filtering. Both of them matched well, which suggests that the 4th order of eustatic sea level changes during the last 5.33 Ma was probably controlled by changes in the sizes of the ice caps.completedQuaternary geologyApplied geophysicsCenozoicdeglaciationeustacyForaminiferageophysical methodsglacial geologyhigh-resolution methodsice capsIndonesian SeasInvertebrataisotope ratiosisotopesJava SeamicrofossilsNeogeneO-18/O-16Ocean Drilling ProgramoxygenPacific OceanpaleoclimatologypaleoenvironmentPlioceneProtistasea-level changesseismic methodsseismic stratigraphySouth PacificSouthwest Pacificstable isotopesSunda ShelfTertiaryupper CenozoicWest PacificEnglishgeoscientificInformation106.0000116.0000-8.0000-2.3000Java Sea
