Late Holocene Relative Sea-Level Change with Mangrove Sediments in the Western Pacific Ocean

Seds Online via YouTube

Overview

Explore the complexities of late Holocene relative sea-level change through the lens of mangrove sediments in the western Pacific Ocean in this 48-minute lecture. Delve into why sea level is not uniform globally, examining longer-term processes and future projections. Investigate the global distribution of relative sea-level data and learn about mangrove sediments as a sea-level proxy. Analyze proxy sea-level reconstruction techniques and glacial-isostatic model predictions. Discuss potential processes of regional subsidence and the absence of a mid-Holocene highstand. Consider future implications, including the impact on the peopling of Remote Oceania and cultural heritage. Gain valuable insights into this crucial aspect of climate science and its far-reaching consequences.
