For those of you who may not be aware, Milankovitch cycles in Earth’s orbital gyrations (Precession, Obliquity and Orbital Eccentricity) have been highly correlated with climate changes. Milankovitch originally thought that these gyrations affected the amount of solar radiation received by the Earth and that is true. However, of far greater importance is the gravitational variations which cause Tidal Pumping, the shuffling of our tectonic plates and release of seismic heat into the ocean waters.

Quoting: "The focus of this paper is on the small-scale cyclicity, its probable control by Milankovitch-forced sea-level oscillations, and how stacking patterns of meter-scale cycles can be used to define internal components of larger-scale sequences and estimate variations in relative sea level.”
