Based on numerous publications and field work on the northern Gulf of Mexico coast, US
and other coastal areas, the present objective is to meet the need for an improved system of …

Abstract The Late Pleistocene-early Holocene faunal turnover in South America was
characterized by the extinction of all mammals with body mass> 300 kg and several smaller …

This paper presents the geological and morphological evolution of the prograded Cassino
barrier during the middle and late Holocene. A special focus is given on the presentation …

This paper focuses on high-resolution coastal stratigraphy data, which were revealed by the
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) system. Surveys performed with GPR on the surface of …

This paper describes the evolution of a sector of the southern coastal plain of the Pelotas
Basin, southern Brazil, between the last Pleistocene sea-level lowstand and the Holocene …

Continuous and increasing human coastal occupations and developments, often linked to
the lack of adequate management plans, seriously threat coastal and marine environments …

This paper discusses a model of coastal barrier progradation where the development of a
prograded plain was a product of the successive formation of foredune ridges followed by …

In this paper, a reinterpretation of the older 14 C ages of the Pleistocene substrate of the
Holocene barrier-lagoon system of three coastal localities in southern Brazil is presented …

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is increasingly used for subsurface detection of structures
due to nondestructive characteristics. Use of the method for studies of coastal depositional …

The evolution and behavior of coastal barriers are controlled by several allogenic and
autogenic factors. Some of these may be more deterministic than others. In this study, the …
