Journal Article
Strzelecki, M., Long, A., & Lloyd, J. (2017). Post-Little Ice Age development of a High Arctic paraglacial beach complex. Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 28(1), 4-17. https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp.1879

We reconstruct the behaviour of a High Arctic gravel-dominated beach complex that has developed in central Spitsbergen, Svalbard, since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA). The studied coastal environment in northern Billefjorden (Petuniabukta) is ch... Read More about Post-Little Ice Age development of a High Arctic paraglacial beach complex.

Sedimentary evidence for a mid-Holocene iceberg-generated tsunami in a coastal lake, west Greenland (2015)
Journal Article
Long, A., Szczucinski, W., & Lawrence, T. (2015). Sedimentary evidence for a mid-Holocene iceberg-generated tsunami in a coastal lake, west Greenland. Arktos (Cham. Internet), 1(1), Article 6. https://doi.org/10.1007/s41063-015-0007-7

We report sedimentological evidence for a tsunami from a coastal lake at Innaarsuit, Disko Bugt (west Greenland), which was most likely generated by a rolling iceberg. The tsunami invaded the lake c. 6000 years ago, during a period of time when relat...

Late Quaternary evolution and sea-level history of a glaciated marine embayment, Bantry Bay, SW Ireland (2015)
Journal Article

Ireland experienced a spatially complex pattern of relative sea-level (RSL) changes and shoreline development caused by the interplay of isostatic and eustatic (ice equivalent sea level) processes since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Using a combina... Read More about Late Quaternary evolution and sea-level history of a glaciated marine embayment, Bantry Bay, SW Ireland.

Near-field sea-level variability in northwest Europe and ice sheet stability during the last interglacial (2015)
Journal Article
Long, A., Barlow, N., Busschers, F., Cohen, K., Gehrels, W., & Wake, L. (2015). Near-field sea-level variability in northwest Europe and ice sheet stability during the last interglacial. Quaternary Science Reviews, 126, 26-40. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.08.021

Global sea level during the Last Interglacial (LIG, Marine Isotope Sub-stage 5e) peaked between c. 5.5 and 9 m above present, implying significant melt from Greenland and Antarctica. Relative sea level (RSL) observations from several far- and interme... Read More about Near-field sea-level variability in northwest Europe and ice sheet stability during the last interglacial.

Sea-level rise due to polar ice-sheet mass loss during past warm periods (2015)
Journal Article
Dutton, A., Carlson, A., Long, A., Milne, G., Clark, P., DeConto, R., …Raymo, M. (2015). Sea-level rise due to polar ice-sheet mass loss during past warm periods. Science, 349(6244), Article aaa4019. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aaa4019

Interdisciplinary studies of geologic archives have ushered in a new era of deciphering magnitudes, rates, and sources of sea-level rise from polar ice-sheet loss during past warm periods. Accounting for glacial isostatic processes helps to reconcile... Read More about Sea-level rise due to polar ice-sheet mass loss during past warm periods.

Radiocarbon dating of mangrove sediments to constrain Holocene relative sea-level change on Zanzibar in the Southwest Indian Ocean (2015)
Journal Article
Woodroffe, S., Long, A., Punwong, P., Selby, K., Bryant, C., & Marchant, R. (2015). Radiocarbon dating of mangrove sediments to constrain Holocene relative sea-level change on Zanzibar in the Southwest Indian Ocean. Holocene, 25(5), 820-831. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683615571422

Mangrove sedimentary deposits are sensitive to changes in sea level and can be used to reconstruct mid- to late Holocene sea-level fluctuations in intermediate and far-field locations, distant to the former polar ice sheets. However, they can be diff... Read More about Radiocarbon dating of mangrove sediments to constrain Holocene relative sea-level change on Zanzibar in the Southwest Indian Ocean.

We test the application of dendrochronological methods for dating and assessing the environmental impacts of tsunamis in polar regions, using an example of the 21 Novem− ber 2000 landslide−generated tsunami in Vaigat Strait (Sullorsuaq Strait), West...

We present a new, diatom-based sea-level reconstruction for Iceland spanning the last ~500 years, and investigate the possible mechanisms driving the sea-level changes. A sea-level reconstruction from near the Icelandic low pressure system is importa...
