Sea level studies: Overview (2018)
Book Chapter
Shennan, I. (2018). Sea level studies: Overview. In Reference module in Earth systems and environmental sciences. Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-12-409548-9.11063-2

Understanding relative sea-level changes helps explain critical interactions in Earth environmental systems throughout the Quaternary. Relative sea-level changes record transfers of mass between oceans and continents during expansion and contraction... Read More about Sea level studies: Overview.

Handbook of sea-level research: framing research questions. (2015)
Book Chapter
Shennan, I. (2015). Handbook of sea-level research: framing research questions. In I. Shennan, A. Long, & B. Horton (Eds.), Handbook of Sea-Level Research (3-25). John Wiley and Sons. https://doi.org/10.1002/9781118452547.ch2

Many studies of sea‐level change are implicitly inductive, depending on inferences and reasoning, where extrapolations may be made to develop generalizations. An inductive approach typically follows a line of reasoning from experience, the argument f... Read More about Handbook of sea-level research: framing research questions..

Palaeoseismological records of multiple great earthquakes in south-central Alaska: a 4000 year record at Girdwood. (2008)
Book Chapter
Shennan, I., Barlow, N., & Combellick, R. (2008). Palaeoseismological records of multiple great earthquakes in south-central Alaska: a 4000 year record at Girdwood. In J. Freymueller, P. Haeussler, R. Wesson, & G. Ekstrom (Eds.), Active tectonics and seismic potential of Alaska (185-199). AGU Geophysical Monograph Series

Analysis of sediment sequences beneath a tidal marsh at Girdwood, Alaska, record seven great earthquakes in the past 4000 years, including the Mw = 9.2 earthquake of March 27, 1964. The key theme that arises from studies of crustal deformation for th...

Analysis of cores collected from Late Devensian (Weichselian) and Holocene sediments on the floor of the North Sea provides evidence of the transgression of freshwater environments during relative sea-level rise. Although many cores show truncated se... Read More about Modelling western North Sea palaeogeographies and tidal changes during the Holocene..
