This article reviews key data and debates focused on relative sea-level changes since the
Last Interglacial (approximately the last 132,000 years) in the Mediterranean Basin, and …

A significant body of new information about the development of coral reefs during the last 23
ka has been generated in the last three decades. In the Indo-Pacific province, structures …

Past sea-level records provide invaluable information about the response of ice sheets to
climate forcing. Some such records suggest that the last deglaciation was punctuated by a …

Reconstructing sea-level changes during the last deglaciation provides a way of
understanding the ice dynamics that can perturb large continental ice sheets. The resolution …

This book provides a wide-ranging comparative analysis of contemporary economic, social,
political and environmental change in small islands, island states and territories, through …

Previous drilling through submerged fossil coral reefs has greatly improved our
understanding of the general pattern of sea-level change since the Last Glacial Maximum …

Coral reefs provide significant evidence for former sea-level positions because of their
geological preservation and suitability for dating. Interpretation of this evidence presumes an …

Fossil corals provide valuable data for reconstructing past sea levels, as they are often well
preserved in the fossil record and can be dated with U-series methods. Here we present a …

Abstract The Younger Dryas climate event occurred during the middle of the last deglacial
cycle and is marked by an abrupt shift in the North Atlantic polar front almost to its former …

This book presents both state-of-the art knowledge from Recent coral reefs (1.8 million to a
few centuries old) gained since the eighties, and introduces geologists, oceanographers …
