“…Sequences of salt-marsh sediment are a valuable archive for reconstructing RSL because salt marshes accrete sediment to preserve their elevation in the tidal frame under regimes of rising RSL where sediment supply is not limited, or where salt-marsh accretion results primarily results from organogenic growth (Morris et al, 2002). However, samples of salt-marsh sediment used to reconstruct sea level may have undergone post-depositional lowering (PDL) by compaction of underlying sediment (Jelgersma, 1961;Bloom, 1964;Allen, 1999Allen, , 2000van Asselen et al, 2009). PDL causes an over-estimation of the amount and rate of reconstructed sea-level rise (Horton and Shennan, 2009;Horton et al, 2013).…”

“…The recalculated compaction ratio for organic-rich deposits in the Rhine-Meuse delta is up to 1.7:1; however, its average value is ~1.4:1 (Van Asselen et al 2009;Van Asselen 2011). In the case of the mangrove peats in Singapore, the average compaction ratio ranges between 1.2:1 and 2.2:1 (Text- fig.…”

“…Most of the modern mires, for which the compaction has been extensively investigated, are younger than 10 ka (e.g. Bloom 1964;Haslett et al 1998;Allen 2000;Bird et al 2004;Long et al 2006;Van Asselen et al 2009;Van Asselen 2011). Thus, the plant matter in the mire beds is less decomposed than in the lignite seams.…”

ABSTRACT:Widera, M. 2015. Compation of lignite: a review of methods and results. Acta Geologica Polonica, 65 (3), 367-378. Warszawa.The published peat:coal compaction ratios range from 1.1:1 to 60:1 and from 1.1:1 to 11:1 for lignites. These probably represent realistic end-member values for the degree of compaction during the transformation of peat into lignite and then to coal. Hence, in many cases, the obtained values of the compaction ratio are under-or overestimated with reference to the entire coal seam.This study focuses on the changes of thickness between a peat bed and the resulting lignite seam. The fundamental question is how many times the thickness of the peat bed, prior to covering the mire by the overburden, was greater than the present-day thickness of the lignite seam.The majority of methods reported in this paper cannot be used directly to quantify the amount of compaction of the lignite seam. In this context, the only category of methods which allow a direct estimation of the peat:lignite compaction ratio are the so-called stratigraphic methods. Therefore, based on comparison of the initial peat bed thickness with lignite seam thickness, the most accurate peat:lignite compaction ratio ranges from 2:1 to 4:1.

The importance of loss-on-ignition (LOI) and organic matter (OM) analyses in Holocene sea-level and coastal evolution research is reviewed, and recommendations for better-informed inclusion of LOI and differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTGA) in sea-level studies are presented. Focus also centers on the significance of autocompaction, and the use of LOI data for its correction, with respect to Holocene intertidal sediment successions and saltmarsh sedimentary archives of historical sea-level change. Finally, we comment on the use of δ13C and C/N ratio data for determining OM provenance in relation to studies of coastal change over a range of timescales
