In order to fill this knowledge gap, the Albian hemipelagic deposits of the Mioño Formation exposed in Castro Urdiales (Basque-Cantabrian Basin) are studied herein. Similarly, relatively little is known about the expression of Milankovitch cycles in successions accumulated in tectonically active basins. However, several aspects have been little studied to date, such as the nature of the climatically regulated environmental processes that ultimately control cyclic sedimentation. Our understanding of the stratigraphic expression of astronomically driven climate-change cycles in the Milankovitch frequency band has improved significantly in recent decades. It is suitable for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in environmental science, palaeoceanography and geology. This book provides the ideal reference for all those using time-series analysis to study the nature and history of climatic and tidal cycles. The book ends with an extensive reference section, and an appendix listing sources of computer algorithms. Recent research into various types of tidal and climatic cycles is summarised. Practical problems of time-series analysis, including those of distortions of environmental signals during stratigraphic encoding, are considered in detail. All the main cyclostratigraphic methods are covered including spectral analysis, cross-spectral analysis, filtering, complex demodulation, wavelet and singular spectrum analysis. This book explains how to analyse these records, using straightforward explanations and diagrams rather than formal mathematical derivations. Increasingly environmental scientists, palaeoceanographers and geologists are collecting quantitative records of environmental changes (time-series) from sediments, ice cores, cave calcite, corals and trees.
