A 2500-YEAR SEA LEVEL RECORD FROM PHRA THONG ISLAND, THAILAND

Temporally changing coastline configurations and local sea-level changes pose a considerable threat to coastal communities infrastructure. However, regional (RSL) histories spanning the last 3000 years have not been widely studied in Southeast Asia, even though region shows significantly different RSL records from place (Horton et al., 2005). This period is crucial for understanding pre-industrial time. Here, we investigate record of past sea-level(s) preserved within stratigraphy beach ridge system Phra Thong Island (PTI), Thailand.
