A Survey of Relative Sea-Level Changes Observed During the Holocene

  • Chapter
Glacial Isostasy, Sea-Level and Mantle Rheology

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 334))

Abstract

Significant case studies of regional sea-level changes during the Holocene, extracted from part of a broader study, are considered. Some of them are compared to predictions obtained by global isostatic models.
