Modelling the effects of sediment compaction on salt marsh reconstructions of recent sea-level rise (2012)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Long, A., Woodroffe, S., Petley, D., Milledge, D., & Parnell, A. (2012). Modelling the effects of sediment compaction on salt marsh reconstructions of recent sea-level rise. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 345-348, 180-193. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2012.06.045

This paper quantifies the potential influence of sediment compaction on the magnitude of nineteenth and twentieth century sea-level rise, as reconstructed from salt marsh sediments. We firstly develop a database of the physical and compression proper... Read More about Modelling the effects of sediment compaction on salt marsh reconstructions of recent sea-level rise.

Century-scale relative sea-level changes in West Greenland — A plausibility study to assess contributions from the cryosphere and the ocean (2012)
Journal Article
Wake, L., Milne, G., Long, A., Woodroffe, S., Simpson, M., & Huybrechts, P. (2012). Century-scale relative sea-level changes in West Greenland — A plausibility study to assess contributions from the cryosphere and the ocean. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 315-316, 86-93. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2011.09.029

This paper interprets high resolution relative sea-level (RSL) reconstructions obtained from recently deposited salt-marsh sediments in Greenland. The primary aim of this study is to determine the relative contribution to the RSL observations from lo...

Relative sea-level response to Little Ice Age ice mass change in south central Alaska: Reconciling model predictions and geological evidence (2012)
Journal Article
Barlow, N., Shennan, I., & Long, A. (2012). Relative sea-level response to Little Ice Age ice mass change in south central Alaska: Reconciling model predictions and geological evidence. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 315-316, 62-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2011.09.048

Integration of geological data and glacio-isostatic adjustment (GIA) modelling shows that it is possible to decouple complex mechanisms of relative sea-level (RSL) change in a tectonically active glacial environment. We model a simplest solution in w... Read More about Relative sea-level response to Little Ice Age ice mass change in south central Alaska: Reconciling model predictions and geological evidence.

Relative sea-level change in Greenland during the last 700 years and ice sheet response to the Little Ice Age (2012)
Journal Article
Long, A., Woodroffe, S., Milne, G., Bryant, C., Simpson, M., & Wake, L. (2012). Relative sea-level change in Greenland during the last 700 years and ice sheet response to the Little Ice Age. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 315-316, 76-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2011.06.027

This paper presents new evidence regarding relative sea-level (RSL) changes and vertical land motions at three sites in Greenland since 1300 A.D., a time interval that spans the later part of the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and the Little Ice Age...
