“… In most winters, large volumes of ice cover the tidal flats at Ocean View and most marshes along Turnagain Arm (Hamilton et al, 2005). For example, in 2002 we observed a 3-m-high ice dam 1,500 m out on the tidal flat at Ocean View that restricted tidal inundation landward (fig 1.3.2).…”

“…5.1.3). We suggest that reworking and deposition of older organic material by winter ice seems possible (Hamilton et al, 2005;Shennan et al, 2008). This would particularly affect sediment accumulation at the vegetated marsh front where there is a concentration of transported ice blocks.…”

“…Combellick (1991) provided much of the impetus for later research, providing a key analogue used by Atwater (1987) in his seminal paper on the seismic hazard to the northwest coast of the Lower 48. Full details on discussion of the topics summarized can be found in recent publications (Barlow et al, 2012;Hamilton and Shennan, 2005;Shennan et al, 2008;Shennan and Hamilton, 2006 This guide complements the description of the lithostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic evidence of late Holocene great earthquakes in the Cook Inlet region by Reger (Combellick 1991, 1994;Combellick and Reger, 1994) and presents the biostratigraphy from one exposure at Girdwood. Full details and discussion can be found in recent publications (Hamilton and Shennan, 2005a,b;Hamilton et al, 2005;Shennan et al, 1999;Shennan and Hamilton, 2006;Zong et al, 2003).…”

This research reconstructed the Late Quaternary salinity history of the Pearl River estuary, China, from diatom records of four sedimentary cores. The reconstruction was produced through the application of a diatom-salinity transfer function developed based on 77 modern surface sediment samples collected across the estuary from shallow marine environment to deltaic distributaries. The statistical analysis indicates that the majority of sediment samples from the cores has good modern analogues, thus the reconstructions are reliable. The reconstructed salinity history shows the older estuarine sequence formed during the last interglacial was deposited under similar salinity conditions to the younger estuarine sequence, which was formed during the present interglacial. Further analysis into the younger estuarine sequence reveals the interplays between sea level, monsoon-driven freshwater discharge, and deltaic shoreline movement, key factors that have infl uenced water salinity in the estuary. In particular, a core from the delta plain shows the effects of sea-level change and deltaic progradation, while cores from the mouth region of the estuary reveal changes of monsoon-driven freshwater discharge. This study demonstrates the advantages of quantitative salinity reconstructions to improve the quality of reconstruction and allow direct comparison with other quantitative records and the instrumentally observed values of salinity.
