  • Holocene relative sea-level rise of the Delaware Estuary, USA

    Open AccessMargaret Christie, Jennifer Walker et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2025Referencias: 13

    Holocene relative sea level (RSL) rise of the mid-Atlantic United States is dominated by two processes: ice-equivalent sea-level changes and Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) driven vertical land motion. Interpreting Holocene RSL processes in the Delaware Estuary is limited by the availability of RSL data: just 26% of 49 published sea-level index points (SLIPs) were older than 3000 years BP. Here, we extend the RSL history of the Delaware Estuar…

  • A new Holocene sea-level record for Singapore

    Open AccessStephen Chua, Adam D Switzer et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2021Citada por: 6Referencias: 14

    Relative sea-level (RSL) records from far-field regions distal from ice sheets remain poorly understood, particularly in the early Holocene. Here, we extended the Holocene RSL data from Singapore by producing early Holocene sea-level index points (SLIPs) and limiting dates from a new ~40 m sediment core. We merged new and published RSL data to construct a standardized Singapore RSL database consisting of 88 SLIPs and limiting data. In the early H…

  • Salt-Marsh Foraminiferal Distributions from Mainland Northern Georgia, USA

    Open AccessHuixian Chen, Timothy A Shaw et al.ARTICLEOpen Quaternary2020Citada por: 1Referencias: 51

    We investigated foraminiferal distributions from two salt-marsh sites at Thunderbolt and Georgetown, in mainland northern Georgia, U.S. Atlantic coast. We analyzed modern epifaunal foraminiferal assemblages across multiple transects consisting of 54 surface samples. Multivariate statistical analysis (Partitioning Around Medoids and Detrended Correspondence Analysis) revealed that dead foraminiferal assemblages are divided into three faunal zones,…

  • Testing the Utility of Geochemical Proxies to Reconstruct Holocene Coastal Environments and Relative Sea Level

    Open AccessAndrew C Kemp, Christopher H Vane et al.ARTICLEOpen Quaternary2019Citada por: 3Referencias: 62

    On low-lying, tropical and sub-tropical coastlines freshwater marshes may be replaced by salt-tolerant \nmangroves in response to relative sea-level rise. Pollen analysis of radiocarbon-dated sediment cores \nshowed that such a change occurred in Hungry Bay, Bermuda during the late Holocene. This well-established paleoenvironmental trajectory provides an opportunity to explore if geochemical proxies (bulk-sediment δ13C and Rock-Eval pyrolysis) ca…

  • Holocene relative sea-level records from coral microatolls in Western Borneo, South China Sea

    Open AccessJędrzej Majewski, Jędrzej M Majewski et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2018Referencias: 4

    The spatial variability of Holocene relative sea level (RSL) in the South China Sea is unknown, with data restricted to Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, and a few other isolated sites. In this study, we present new continuous RSL records for Borneo using surveyed and U–Th dated coral microatolls from four sites in western Sarawak. The record spans 450 years of RSL from 7450 to 7000 yr BP. Our data suggest that RSL was higher than present and rapid …

  • A 600-year-long stratigraphic record of tsunamis in south-central Chile

    Open AccessIsabel Hong, Tina Dura et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2016Referencias: 3

    The stratigraphy within coastal river valleys in south-central Chile clarifies and extends the region’s history of large, earthquakes and accompanying tsunamis. Our site at Quidico (38.1°S, 73.3°W) is located in an overlap zone between ruptures of magnitude 8–9 earthquakes in 1960 and 2010, and, therefore, records tsunamis originating from subduction-zone ruptures north and south of the city of Concepción. Hand-dug pits and cores in a 3-m-thick s…

  • Quantifying the Contribution of Sediment Compaction to late Holocene Salt-Marsh Sea-Level Reconstructions, North Carolina, USA

    Open AccessMatthew J Brain, Andrew C Kemp et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2015

    Salt-marsh sediments provide accurate and precise reconstructions of late Holocene relative sea-level changes. However, compaction of salt-marsh stratigraphies can cause post-depositional lowering (PDL) of the samples used to reconstruct sea level, creating an estimation of former sea level that is too low and a rate of rise that is too great. We estimated the contribution of compaction to late Holocene sea-level trends reconstructed at Tump Poin…

  • Rapid Holocene coastal change revealed by high-resolution micropaleontological analysis, Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, USA

    Open AccessCandace Grand Pre, Stephen J Culver et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2011

    Foraminiferal analyses of 404 contiguous samples, supported by diatom, lithologic, geochronologic and seismic data, reveal both rapid and gradual Holocene paleoenvironmental changes in an 8.21-m vibracore taken from southern Pamlico Sound, North Carolina. Data record initial flooding of a latest Pleistocene river drainage and the formation of an estuary 9000 yr ago. Estuarine conditions were punctuated by two intervals of marine influence from ap…

  • The application of foraminifera to reconstruct the rate of 20th century sea level rise, Morbihan Golfe, Brittany, France

    Open AccessVerónica Rossi, Ben Horton et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2011

    Foraminiferal assemblages preserved within salt-marsh sediment can provide an accurate and precise means to reconstruct relative sea level due to a strong relationship with elevation, which can be quantified using a transfer function. We collected a set of surface samples from two salt marshes in the Morbihan Golfe, France to determine foraminiferal distribution patterns. Dominant taxa included Jadammina macrescens , Trochammina inflata , Haploph…

  • Stable carbon isotopes as potential sea-level indicators in salt marshes, North Carolina, USA

    Open AccessAndrew C Kemp, Christopher H Vane et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2010Citada por: 1Referencias: 3

    We compared the use of δ 13 C values and C:N ratios from salt-marsh sediments to reconstruct relative sea level (RSL) with an established approach using foraminifera. Analysis of bulk-organic sediment and plant samples collected along transects at two sites in North Carolina, USA demonstrates that sediment δ 13 C values can be used to distinguish between Spartina alterniflora-dominated low marsh (C photosynthetic pathway, δ 13 C values from —17.6…

  • The relative utility of foraminifera and diatoms for reconstructing late Holocene sea-level change in North Carolina, USA

    Open AccessAndrew C Kemp, Ben Horton et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2009

    Foraminifera and diatoms preserved in salt-marsh sediments have been used to produce high-resolution records of Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) change. To determine which of these microfossil groups is most appropriate for this purpose we investigated their relative utility from salt marshes in North Carolina, USA. Regional-scale transfer functions were developed using foraminifera, diatoms and a combination of both (multi-proxy) from three sal…

  • The application of local and regional transfer functions to the reconstruction of Holocene sea levels, north Norfolk, England

    Open AccessBen Horton, Benjamin P Horton et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2005Citada por: 4Referencias: 3

    Foraminiferal assemblages from Thornham and Brancaster marshes (Norfolk, UK) illustrate statistically significant relationship with elevation with respect to the tidal frame. We develop local (data from Thornham and Brancaster marshes) and regional (data from Thornham and Brancaster marshes combined with those from 11 other sites around the UK) predictive foraminifera-based transfer functions to reconstruct former sea levels from a Holocene sedim…
