Coastal areas are highly diverse, ecologically rich, regions of key socio-economic activity, and particularly sensitive to sea-level change. Over most the 20th century, global mean sea level has risen mainly due warming subsequent expansion upper ocean layers as well melting glaciers ice caps. last three decades, increased mass loss Greenland Antarctic sheets also started contribute significant...

Abstract. Abundant numbers of sites and studies exist in NW Europe that document the geographically geomorphologically diverse coastal record from Last Interglacial (Eemian, Ipswichian, Marine Isotope Stage 5e). This paper summarises a database 146 known sea-level data points around North Sea (35 entries Netherlands, 10 Belgium, 23 Germany, 17 Denmark, 9 Britain) English Channel (24 for British...

Glacial deposits in the southwestern Ahklun Mountains, southwestern Alaska, record two major glacier advances during the late Pleistocene. The Arolik Lake and Klak Creek glaciations took place during the early and late Wisconsin, respectively. During the Arolik Lake glaciation, outlet glaciers emanated from an ice cap centered over the central portion of the Ahklun Mountains and expanded beyond...

This study represents a large-scale population genetic analysis of the stellate sturgeon, Acipenser stellatus, in the Caspian Sea. In total, 192 samples of adult stellate sturgeon were collected from four commercial catch stations in the Northern (Volga and Ural Rivers) and Southern Caspian Sea (estuary of Sefidrud and Gorganrod Rivers-Iran). Fifteen sets of microsatellite primers developed fro...
