Evolutionary Trajectories of Coastal Sand Barriers along the West Portuguese Coast during the Holocene
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coastal sand barriers are dynamic features with complex depositional sequences holding critical information regarding system response to disturbances at secular millennial time scales. Here, the evolutionary trajectories of three located along Portuguese coast reconstructed over Middle Late Holocene using geophysical subsurface images, modern morphology and dating dune beach deposits. The integration new available from documents selected site contrasts histories displaying ages ranging hundreds thousands years non-linear defined by shifts between morphological states. Younger appear represent latest progradational state within a history landward barrier migration, where states alternated transgressive Conversely, oldest shows single phase growth, despite some minor hiatus in progradation. Barrier have simultaneously occurred across systems, suggesting external drivers regional scale linked climate variability, namely, periods storminess activity, while different displayed sites related site-specific variables controlling exposure waves winds. Exposed showed lower ability absorb greater range responses, varying

the effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
Variability of coastal ocean processes along the west coast of India
Three-dimensional Princeton Ocean Model (POM) is used to understand coastal ocean processes and its variability along the west coast of India. An attempt is first made to understand variability of the surface circulation and associated SST during July-August 2000 and 2002 as a response of daily wind stress forcing derived from the QSCAT winds. The coastal current reverses its direction to eithe...
متن کاملLate Holocene Sea Temperatures along the Central California Coast
Mussel shells from central California coastal archaeological sites record changes in sea surface temperatures in the past 2000 years, Water temperatures, inferred from oxygen isotopes in the shells, were about 1°C cooler than present and stable between 2000 and 700 yr ago, Between about 700 and 500 yr ago, seasonal variation was greater than present, with extremes above and below historic level...
متن کاملCentennial-to-Millennial Hydrologic Trends and Variability Along the North Atlantic Coast, USA, During the Holocene
Geophysical and sedimentary records from five lakes in Massachusetts reveal regionally coherent hydrologic variability during the Holocene. All of the lakes have risen since ~9.0 ka, but multicentury droughts after 5.6 ka repeatedly lowered their water levels. Quantified water level histories from the three best-studied lakes share >70% of their reconstructed variance. Four prominent low-water ...
متن کاملDelayed coastal upwelling along the U.S. West Coast in 2005: A historical perspective
[1] The timing of the onset of coastal upwelling in spring and its intensity over the upwelling season are critical factors in the productivity and structure of the California Current ecosystem (CCE). We use an index of coastal upwelling to characterize physical forcing over the latitudinal extent of the CCE, and compare the evolution of the upwelling season in 2005 with previous years. The ons...
