Demise 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...
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 کاملLate 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 کاملQuaternary coral reef refugia preserved fish diversity.
The most prominent pattern in global marine biogeography is the biodiversity peak in the Indo-Australian Archipelago. Yet the processes that underpin this pattern are still actively debated. By reconstructing global marine paleoenvironments over the past 3 million years on the basis of sediment cores, we assessed the extent to which Quaternary climate fluctuations can explain global variation i...
