Reconstructing recent relative sea-level changes in West Greenland: local diatom-based transfer functions are superior to regional models (2010)
Journal Article
Woodroffe, S., & Long, A. (2010). Reconstructing recent relative sea-level changes in West Greenland: local diatom-based transfer functions are superior to regional models. Quaternary International, 222(1-2), 91-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2009.06.005

We present the results of an investigation into the potential of salt marshes in the Aasiaat area, West Greenland, for recent relative sea-level (RSL) reconstruction. We use 64 modern diatom samples to develop a transfer function that has a RMSEP of...

Relative sea level change in west Greenland during the last millennium (2010)
Journal Article
Long, A., Woodroffe, S., Milne, G., Bryant, C., & Wake, L. (2010). Relative sea level change in west Greenland during the last millennium. Quaternary Science Reviews, 29(3-4), 367-383. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2009.09.010

Relative sea level (RSL) data provide important long-term (century to millennial-scale) constraints on ice load history in Greenland. In this paper we present the results of a litho-, bio- and chronostratigraphic study designed to reconstruct RSL dur...

Testing models of mid to late Holocene sea-level change, North Queensland, Australia (2009)
Journal Article
Woodroffe, S. (2009). Testing models of mid to late Holocene sea-level change, North Queensland, Australia. Quaternary Science Reviews, 28(23-24), 2474-2488. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2009.05.004

Understanding the nature of global ice-equivalent eustatic sea-level changes during the mid to late Holocene is important to our understanding of how ice sheets will respond to future climate change. This study re-analyses the indicative meaning and... Read More about Testing models of mid to late Holocene sea-level change, North Queensland, Australia.

Late Holocene relative sea level rise and the Neoglacial history of the Greenland Ice Sheet (2009)
Journal Article
Long, A., Woodroffe, S., Dawson, S., Roberts, D., & Bryant, L. (2009). Late Holocene relative sea level rise and the Neoglacial history of the Greenland Ice Sheet. Journal of Quaternary Science, 24(4), 345-359. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.1235

In West Greenland, early and mid Holocene relative sea level (RSL) fall was replaced by late Holocene RSL rise during the Neoglacial, after 4-3 cal. ka BP (thousand calibrated years before present). Here we present the results of an isolation basin R... Read More about Late Holocene relative sea level rise and the Neoglacial history of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Intertidal mangrove foraminifera from the central Great Barrier Reef shelf, Australia: Implications for sea-level reconstruction (2005)
Journal Article
Woodroffe, S., Horton, B., Larcombe, P., & Whittaker, J. (2005). Intertidal mangrove foraminifera from the central Great Barrier Reef shelf, Australia: Implications for sea-level reconstruction. Journal of foraminiferal research, 35(3), 259-270. https://doi.org/10.2113/35.3.259

Contemporary foraminiferal samples and environmental information were collected from three fringing mangrove environments (Sandfly Creek Transect 1 and 2, and Cocoa Creek) in Cleveland Bay, and an estuarine mangrove environment (Saunders Creek) in Ha...

Holocene sea-level changes in the Indo-Pacific (2005)
Journal Article
Woodroffe, S., & Horton, B. (2005). Holocene sea-level changes in the Indo-Pacific. Journal of Asian Earth Sciences, 25(1), 29-43. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jseaes.2004.01.009

Holocene sea-level reconstructions exist from many locations in the Indo-Pacific region. Despite being a large geographical region, the nature of Holocene sea-level change is broadly similar in all locations. Differences do exist, however, in the tim...
