Sea-level change during the last 2500 years in New Jersey, USA
Relative sea-level changes during the last w2500 years in New Jersey, USA were reconstructed to test if late Holocene sea level was stable or included persistent and distinctive phases of variability. Foraminifera and bulk-sediment d13C values were combined to reconstruct paleomarsh elevation with decimeter precision from sequences of salt-marsh sediment at two sites using a multi-proxy approac...
متن کاملInfluence of tidal-range change and sediment compaction on Holocene relative sea-level change in New Jersey, USA
We investigated the effect of tidal-range change and sediment compaction on reconstructions of Holocene relative sea level (RSL) in New Jersey, USA. We updated a published sea-level database to generate 50 sea-level index points and ten limiting dates that define continuously rising RSL in New Jersey during the Holocene. There is scatter among the index points, particularly those older than 7 k...
متن کاملReconstructing Holocene sea level using salt-marsh foraminifera and transfer functions: lessons from New Jersey, USA
We present an expanded training set of salt-marsh foraminifera for reconstructing Holocene relative sea-level change from 12 sites in New Jersey that represent varied physiographic environments. Seven groups of foraminifera are recognized, including four highor transitional-marsh assemblages and a low-salinity assemblage. A weighted-averaging transfer function trained on this dataset was applie...
متن کاملModel Thermohaline Trends in the Mediterranean Sea during the Last Years: A Change with Respect to the Last Decades?
Temperature and salinity outputs from ECCO (years 93-09) and GLORYS (years 03-09) models have been used to compute the thermohaline and steric sea level trends in the surface (0-150 m), intermediate (150 m-600 m), and deep (600 m-bottom) layers of the Mediterranean Sea. Some changes with respect to the second half of the 20th century have been observed: the cooling of the upper waters of the en...
متن کاملSea level change through the last glacial cycle.
Sea level change during the Quaternary is primarily a consequence of the cyclic growth and decay of ice sheets, resulting in a complex spatial and temporal pattern. Observations of this variability provide constraints on the timing, rates, and magnitudes of the changes in ice mass during a glacial cycle, as well as more limited information on the distribution of ice between the major ice sheets...
