Late Quaternary sea-level and tectonic changes in northeast Fiji
The islands of northeast Fiji studied are all the emergent parts of the northern end of the Lau^Colville Ridge, a remnant island arc which has been rising for most of the Quaternary. Within the study area, investigations of coastal landforms (primarily emerged notches and shore platforms) and emerged coral reefs allow rates of tectonic movements to be calculated. The Vanuabalavu Island group is...
متن کاملSedimentary environmental change induced from late Quaternary sea-level change in the Bonaparte Gulf, northwestern Australia
Low-latitude continental shelves, mixed siliciclastic–carbonate sedimentary systems, provide an understanding of sedimentary environments driven by paleoclimatological processes. The Bonaparte Gulf, northwestern Australian continental shelf, is among the widest in the world, ranging to 500 km, with shallow carbonate terraces and platforms that were exposed during periods of lower sea level. The...
متن کاملLate Quaternary Eustatic Sea-Level Changes Along TheMalibu Coast, Los Angeles County, California
Late Quaternary relative sea-level changes along the Malibu coast can be deciphered by study of geomorphic features and marine and associated stream deposits. Evidence for such changes includes (a) stream downcutting in large valleys during low stands of sea level, (b) stream aggradation in the same valleys during high stands of sea level, and (c) marine shoreline angles whose altitudes coincid...
متن کاملQuaternary coastal morphology and sea-level changes—an introduction
Few things remain static in natural systems and perhaps no better illustrated than by changes in the level of the ocean surface with respect to the land over Quaternary timescales. The position of sea level (ultimate base level) and changes of sea level over geological timescales represent important controls in the evolution of coastal environments, and as an agent of profound geomorphological ...
متن کاملAntarctic Sea Ice History, Late Quaternary
Sea ice results from the freezing of surface sea water. In the Southern Ocean, sea ice surrounds the Antarctic continent and it today covers 20 × 10 km in winter and only 4 × 10 km in summer (Gloersen et al., 1992). This pronounced seasonal cycle strongly affects the climate of the Southern Hemisphere through its impacts on the energy and gas budget, on the atmospheric circulation, on the hydro...
