Influence 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 کاملAn Evaluation of Late Holocene Sea Level Rise and Anthropogenic Impacts; Jones Narrows Marsh, Chatham County, Georgia
A detailed record of the Late Holocene sea level rise and landscape evolution that has taken place on the Georgia coast is contained within the sedimentary stratigraphy of its salt marsh depositional basins. Global relative sea level (RSL) has risen during the Late Holocene, and the rate of rise has accelerated during the Anthropocene. Jones Narrows marsh stratigraphy and radiocarbon analysis i...
متن کاملModeling Sea - Level Change Using Errors - in - Variables Integrated Gaussian Processes
We perform Bayesian inference on historical and late Holocene (last 2000 years) rates of sea-level change. The input data to our model are tidegauge measurements and proxy reconstructions from cores of coastal sediment. These data are complicated by multiple sources of uncertainty, some of which arise as part of the data collection exercise. Notably, the proxy reconstructions include temporal u...
متن کاملSea-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 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...
