Using relative sea-level data to constrain the deglacial and Holocene history of southern Greenland (2013)
Journal Article
Woodroffe, S., Long, A., Lecavalier, B., Milne, G., & Bryant, C. (2014). Using relative sea-level data to constrain the deglacial and Holocene history of southern Greenland. Quaternary Science Reviews, 92, 345-356. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2013.09.008

This paper presents new Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) data collected from isolation basins close to the town of Paamiut in south west Greenland. The data shows a rapid fall from a marine limit of c. 52 m asl at c. 10.9 cal. ka BP to close to pres...

Reconstructing paleoseismic deformation, 1: modern analogues from the 1960 and 2010 Chilean great earthquakes (2013)
Journal Article
Garrett, E., Shennan, I., Watcham, E., & Woodroffe, S. (2013). Reconstructing paleoseismic deformation, 1: modern analogues from the 1960 and 2010 Chilean great earthquakes. Quaternary Science Reviews, 75, 11-21. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2013.04.007

The 1960, and 2010 Chilean great earthquakes provide modern analogues for the sedimentary signatures of the largest megathrust events and their accompanying tsunamis. This paper presents lithological and diatom assemblage data from five sites and pro...

Salt marshes as late Holocene tide gauges (2013)
Journal Article
Barlow, N., Shennan, I., Long, A., Gehrels, W., Saher, M., Woodroffe, S., & Hillier, C. (2013). Salt marshes as late Holocene tide gauges. Global and Planetary Change, 106, 90-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloplacha.2013.03.003

Understanding late Holocene to present relative sea-level changes at centennial or sub-centennial scales requires geological records that dovetail with the instrumental era. Salt marsh sediments are one of the most reliable geological tide gauges. In... Read More about Salt marshes as late Holocene tide gauges.
