The record of ice-sheet demise since the last glacial maximum (LGM) provides an opportunity to test relative importance instability mechanisms, including sea-level (RSL) change, controlling retreat. Here we examine RSL changes accompanying retreat Minch Ice Stream (MnIS) northwest Scotland during deglaciation following LGM as well use provide additional age constraints on a local late-glacial readvance known Wester Ross Readvance. We new and existing records change obtained from isolation...

ABSTRACT New relative sea‐level (RSL) data constrain the timing and magnitude of RSL changes in southern Isle Skye following Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). We identify a marine limit at ~ 23 m OD, indicating ~20 above present c . 15.1 ka. Isolation basin data, supported by terrestrial limiting dates, record an fall to 11.59 14.2 This occurs across time global Meltwater Pulse 1A, supporting recent research on sources ice melting. Our new also help resolve some chronological issues within...

Estuaries are at the interface of marine and terrestrial systems as such, subject to environmental change arising from multiple driving mechanisms, with interplay between dominant controls varying spatially temporally. Relative sea-level (RSL) sediment supply can play a significant role in change. This study examines relative influence these drivers during Holocene. Biostratigraphic records RSL data presented two locations inner portion upper reaches macrotidal Humber Estuary, eastern...
