Today's understanding of sea-level change developed through a combination process-based physical modelling and observational data. Observational data derives from coral reefs in the far-field former ice sheets where geographically variable relative signal is expected as response earth to ocean loading. Given this variability limited geographical distribution reefs, there need explore other, non-coral based markers further understand and, for example, 'fingerprint' melt-water. Here, we...
Abstract The aim of this paper is to reconstruct the evolution early middle Holocene Rhine-Meuse river mouths in western Netherlands and understand observed spatial temporal changes facies. This achieved by constructing three delta wide cross-sections using a newly accumulated database with thousands core descriptions cone penetration test results, together large set pollen/diatom analyses OSL/ 14 C-dates. Most studied deposits fluvial-to-marine transition zone, highly complex area due...

The Arabian Peninsula is surrounded by seismically highly active plate margins, while the interior seems to be free from destructive earthquakes. We report two historical earthquakes in Qalhat, Oman, >300 km any boundary and provide archaeoseismological analysis of ruined buildings. first quake hit city 1497 AD with an intensity VII at most; community survived damage was repaired. second event caused total devastation (intensity X-XI), sometime between 1580 1592. never recovered latter; it...
Abstract. Isostatic response of the Earth's crust as a consequence fluctuating extent ice-sheet masses was accompanied by earthquakes probably due to local reactivation pre-existing faults. Our study glacilacustrine and glacifluvial succession exposed on Rügen Island (SW Baltic Sea) indicates that some soft-sediment deformation structures within must have formed shortly before front Pleistocene Scandinavian Ice Sheet reached area (during Last Glacial Maximum), thus during stage ice advance....
Abstract Sedimentological, geochemical, and paleontological investigations of the coastline northeastern Oman have provided authors with an in-depth insight into Holocene sea levels climate conditions. The spatial distribution species assemblage mangrove ecosystems are analyzed. These sensitive to changes in level precipitation thus reflect ecological close proximity archaeological sites allows us draw conclusions regarding human interaction ecosystems. Our interdisciplinary inquiry reveals...
