Coral reefs provide significant evidence for former sea-level positions because of their
geological preservation and suitability for dating. Interpretation of this evidence presumes an …

In this review article, we summarize observations of sea level variations, globally and
regionally, during the 20th century and the last 2 decades. Over these periods, the global …

Abstract The approximately 10,000-year-long Last Glacial Maximum, before the termination
of the last ice age, was the coldest period in Earth's recent climate history. Relative to the …

The geologic record provides constraints on the rates, amplitudes, and mechanisms
controlling globally averaged (eustatic) and relative (eustatic plus subsidence/uplift) …

The stability of modern ice shelves is threatened by atmospheric and oceanic warming. The
geologic record of formerly glaciated continental shelves provides a window into the past of …

Studies of past glacial cycles yield critical information about climate and sea-level (ice-
volume) variability, including the sensitivity of climate to radiative change, and impacts of …

Key features: Captures the historic context and recent developments in science and policy
arenas that address the potential for coastal wetlands to be considered as significant …

This textbook presents all aspects of climate system dynamics, on all timescales from the
Earth's formation to modern human-induced climate change. It discusses the dominant …

Submarine geomorphology is a main environmental driver defining the seascape and
associated benthic habitat. In this sense, eustatic sea-level fluctuations plays a major role in …

This study is a review of Quaternary Milankovitch cycles as recorded on modern continental
shelves worldwide. On the background of the many existing examples, we focus on selected …
