Minimal late Holocene sea level rise in the Chukchi Sea: arctic insensitivity to global change?
Long-term estimates of sea level rise are essential for planning responses to anthropogenic global change. The tectonically stable, unglaciated eastern Chukchi Sea coast has numerous depositional environments for extracting long-term records in the absence of tide gauge data. Radiocarbon ages (n= 27) on paleo-marsh beds along several Seward Peninsula lagoons allows the reconstruction of sea lev...
متن کاملSome Notes on Sea-level Change around the Australian Coastline
A proper understanding of the risk associated with sea-level change can only be attained by adherence to accurate terminology. In particular, it is vital to recognize the distinction between changes in eustatic sea-level, which correspond to changes in a notional world-wide average, and changes in local relative sea-level (LRSL), which correspond to changes in actual sea-levels at real and part...
متن کاملA new Late Holocene sea-level record from the Mississippi Delta: evidence for a climate/sea level connection?
A detailed relative sea-level (RSL) record was constructed for the time interval 600–1600 AD, using basal peat to track sea level and containing 16 sea-level index points that capture w60 cm of RSL rise. The study area is in the Mississippi Delta where the spring tidal range is w0.47 m, the impact of ocean currents on sea-surface topography is limited, and crustal motions are well constrained. ...
متن کاملLate Pleistocene, Holocene and present sea-levels: constraints on future change
Late Pleistocene and Holocene sea-levels exhibit considerable temporal and spatial variation around the globe when compared with present-day sea-levels. This is the result of volumetric changes of the ocean produced by the melting of the Pleistocene ice sheets, the response of the crust to these redistributed surface loads, and to tectonic movements of the shore lines of other than glacio-hydro...
متن کاملDemise of reef-Xat carbonate accumulation with late Holocene sea-level fall: evidence from Molokai, Hawaii
Twelve cores from the protected reef-Xat of Molokai revealed that carbonate sediment accumulation, ranging from 3 mm year to less than 1 mm year, ended on average 2,500 years ago. Modern sediment is present as a mobile surface veneer but is not trapped within the reef framework. This Wnding is consistent with the arrest of deposition at the end of the mid-Holocene highstand, known locally as th...
