Tasmanian Beach Ridge Systems in Relation to Sea Level Change
نویسنده
چکیده
Both sand and pebble beach systems in Tasmania show an overall decrease in height seaward which may be correlated with a fall of sea-level occurring while they were being formed. This fall from the postglacial Milford shoreline was of the order of 2 or 3 ft. in south-eastern Tasmania, but about 5 or 6 ft. elsewhere.

Identification of sea-level proxies is important for reconstruction of past sea-level variation. Methods for reconstructing Holocene relative sea-level curves are crucial for quantification of the impact of Greenland ice thickness variation on global sea level and vertical land movement. Arctic beach ridges constitute important potential archives of sea-level variation. However, their surface m...
متن کاملTwo Centuries of Climate Change and Climate Variability, East Coast Australia
On the east Australian coast, climate change is expressed as a slowly rising sea level. Analysis of records, dating back over two centuries, also shows oscillating multidecadal ‘storm’ and ‘drought’ dominated climate periods that are distinct from long-term climate change. Climate variability, as expressed by these distinct multidecadal periods, is generally associated with phases of the Interd...

Coast contains an important environmental value which is subjected to a great pressure, hard to arrange with the intense economic activity that takes place. The sand coasts with low height above sea level are the most sensitive to this stress. It is due to the dynamic nature caused by their interaction with the other systems and the natural values they have. Llobregat river delta is a coastal l...
