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.

Scale considerations in using diatoms as indicators of sea-level change: lessons from Alaska (2013)
Journal Article
Watcham, E., Shennan, I., & Barlow, N. (2013). Scale considerations in using diatoms as indicators of sea-level change: lessons from Alaska. Journal of Quaternary Science, 28(2), 165-179. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2592

This paper assesses variations in quantitative reconstructions of late Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) change arising from using modern diatom datasets from different spatial scales, applied to case studies from Alaska. We investigate the implicati... Read More about Scale considerations in using diatoms as indicators of sea-level change: lessons from Alaska.

Relative sea-level response to Little Ice Age ice mass change in south central Alaska: Reconciling model predictions and geological evidence (2012)
Journal Article

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.

Late Holocene relative land - and sea-level changes: providing information for stakeholders (2009)
Journal Article

Throughout history, human societies dependent upon coastal environments have adapted to changes in sea level. Drowned peat layers on the North Sea continental shelf contain artifacts of Mesolithic communities that had no alternative than to migrate o...

Late Quaternary sea-level changes and palaeoseismology of the Bering Glacier region, Alaska (2009)
Journal Article

Glacial isostatic adjustment and multiple earthquake deformation cycles produce temporal and spatial variability in the records of relative sea-level change across south-central Alaska. Bering Glacier had retreated inland of the present coast by 16 k... Read More about Late Quaternary sea-level changes and palaeoseismology of the Bering Glacier region, Alaska.

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...
