River delta degradation has been caused by extraction of natural resources, sediment
retention by reservoirs, and sea-level rise. Despite global concerns about these issues …

Future sea-level rise poses an existential threat for many river deltas, yet quantifying the
effect of sea-level changes on these coastal landforms remains a challenge. Sea-level …

Holocene deposits exhibit distinct, predictable and chronologically constrained facies
patterns that are quite useful as appropriate modern analogs for interpreting the ancient …

This paper reviews the state of the art in the concept as well as in the application of sediment
budgets in sedimentary research. Sediments are a product of mass dispersal at the Earth …

This paper links research questions in Quaternary geology with those in Palaeolithic
archaeology. A detailed geological reconstruction of The Netherlands' south‐west offshore …

Large floodplains have multiple and complex negative relief assemblages in which
depressions fall below local or general floodplain surfaces at a variety of scales. The …

This paper provides the most-accurate sea-level index points (SLIPs) for the Rhine-Meuse
Delta (RMD), The Netherlands, identified amidst a wealth of data accumulated in sixty years …

The term “cyclothem” was coined by Wanless and Weller (1932) to characterize a repetitive
stratigraphic motif in the Pennsylvanian succession of the Illinois Basin, central USA, and it …

Estuaries and tidal embayments are partly enclosed coastal bodies of water with a free
connection to the open sea at their tidal inlet and with minimal (tidal embayments) or …

The landscape evolution of the southern North Sea basin is complex and has left a
geographically varying record of marine, lacustrine, fluvial and glacial sedimentation and …
