On the Possible Origins of an Unusual (Mid to Late Holocene) Coastal Deposit, Old Punt Bay, South-East Australia
An unusual coarse, shelly sedimentary unit is found elevated above present mean sea level in a sheltered pocket embayment at Old Punt Bay in south-eastern Australia. The coarse sediments, diverse microfauna, and large shelly macrofauna of mixed affinity suggest that the deposit is the result of high-energy deposition. The deposit was previously thought to have been deposited 1000–1300 cal bp based on one shell dated using 14C and amino acid racem…
Meteorological Tsunamis in Southern Britain
Meteorological tsunamis, or meteo-tsunamis, are long-period waves that possess tsunami characteristics but are meteorological in origin, although they are not storm surges. In this article we investigate the coast of southern Britain - the English Channel, the Bristol Channel, and the Severn Estuary - for the occurrence of tsunami-like waves that, in the absence of associated seismic activity, we recognize as meteo-tsunamis. The passage of squall…
Late Quaternary climate–ocean changes in western North Africa
Understanding the North African response to natural climatic variability has become an important research focus in recent years, especially considering the uncertain influence of anthropogenic warming to present and future climate changes. Historic climatic perturbations are associated with changes in Atlantic circulation, which in turn have been linked to water resource and land degradation issues in North Africa. In this paper, Late Quaternary …
Buried salt-marsh edges and tide-level cycles in the mid-Holocene of the Caldicot Level (Gwent), South Wales, UK
Combining stratigraphical, sedimentological and biofacial (foraminifera) approaches, a high-resolution, time-constrained study has been made of a mid-Holocene ( c. 5800–4900 14 C yrs BP) estuarine succession ( c. 2 m) continuously exposed for 1.75 km between two major, late-Holocene palaeochannels. The succession displays great lateral variation in bed thickness and facies; bounded by two laterally extensive peats, it consists of silts split by a…
The Palaeoenvironmental Implications of the Distribution of Intertidal Foraminifera in a Tropical Australian Estuary
Modern intertidal foraminifera were investigated in a mangrove‐lined microtidal distributary channel of the Barron River Delta (Cairns, Queensland, Australia). A monospecific assemblage of Trochammina inflata characterises saltmarsh environments (Biozone 1), whilst the more regularly inundated tidal flat is dominated (≥55%) by Ammonia beccarii (Biozone 2). Within the tidal flat environment, two foraminiferal subdivisions can be recognised; a high…
Identifying storm or tsunami events in coastal basin sediments
Evaluating late-Holocene relative sea-level change in the Somerset Levels, southwest Britain
Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) change is investigated at Nyland Hill (Somerset Levels). The lithostratigraphy comprises turfa peat underlying marine clay, both onlapping a sloping Upper Palaeozoic basement. The altitude of the peat-clay contact ranges from 2.42 to 4.52 m OD, becoming lower down basement slope, yet 14 C dates of three samples taken laterally along the contact at different altitudes yield similar ages (3640-3330, 3715-3460, 3725…
Mapping Holocene upwelling in the eastern equatorial Pacific using Radiolaria
Recently, an assemblage of Radiolaria characteristic of upwelling has been described from the Peru Current, Oman Margin, and Somalian Gyre regions, and subsequently from the eastern tropical Atlantic. An Upwelling Radiolarian Index (URI) has been developed to monitor temporal variations in upwelling systems. In the present study, the URI has been adapted to map spatial variation in the eastern equatorial Pacific upwelling system using Holocene co…
