“…Such evidence would appear to reinforce the suggestion by Baker and Haworth (2000), that sea-level on the Australian coastline oscillated from the MHHS and did not experience a smooth decline as suggested by the geophysical models. This is further expanded by Baker et al (2001a) et al ( 1979) suggest that the area was not affected by tectonic subsidence or uplift at least during the Holocene.…”

“…Its depositional hierarchy and stacking pattern could be related to the influence of sea-level changes of fifth to sixth order. In that time, climatic changes led to variations in sea-level of small-scale amplitude (a few metres), leading to the formation of discontinuities and then changes in the sediment transport and deposition of the prograding wedges (Warner and Stanley, 1995;Somoza et al, 1998;Baker and Haworth, 2000;Banerjee, 2000;Gàmez, 2007;Fernández-Salas, 2008) (Fig. 8).…”

SUMMARY: A detailed analysis of the morphology and the Holocene seismic and sequence stratigraphy and architecture of the infralittoral sedimentary environment of the El Masnou coast (Catalonia, NW Mediterranean Sea) was carried out using multibeam bathymetry and GeoPulse seismic data. This environment extends down to 26-30 m water depth, and is defined morphologically by two depositional wedges whose seafloor is affected by erosive furrows, slides, fields of large-and smallscale wavy bedforms, and dredging trenches and pits. Erosive terraces are also identified in the transition domain toward the inner continental shelf. The Holocene stratigraphy of the infralittoral environment is defined by two major seismic sequences (lower and upper), each one formed by internal seismic units. The sequences and units are characterised by downlapping surfaces made up of deposits formed by progradation of coastal lithosomes. The stratigraphy and stratal architecture, displaying a retrogradational arrangement with progradational patterns of minor order, were controlled by different sea-level positions. The stratigraphic division represents the coastal response to the last fourth-order transgressive and highstand conditions, modulated by small-scale sea-level oscillations (≈1-2 m) of fith to sixth order. This study also highlights the advantage of an integrated analysis using acoustic/seismic methods for practical assessment of the anthropogenic effects on infralittoral domains based on the association of marine geological observations. Keywords: infralittoral environment, morphology, stratigraphy, Holocene, El Masnou. RESUMEN: El ambiEntE sEdimEntario infralitoral dE El masnou (provincia dE barcElona, mEditErránEo no): morfología y Estratigrafía sísmica dEl HolocEno. -En este trabajo se presenta el estudio detallado de la morfología y la estratigrafía sísmica y secuencial del Holoceno que caracteriza al ambiente infralitoral de El Masnou y que ha sido llevado a cabo mediante datos obtenidos con sonda multihaz y perfiles de sísmica monocanal de alta resolución de GeoPulse. Este ambiente infralitoral se extiende hasta los 26-30 m de profundidad y está morfológicamente caracterizado por dos cuñas deposicionales cuyas superficies están afectadas por surcos erosivos, deslizamientos, campos de ondas de sedimento de pequeña y gran escala, y formas de origen antrópico (fosas y hoyos de dragado). También se identifican terrazas erosivas en el área de transición a la plataforma continental. La estratigrafía del Holoceno de este ambiente infralitoral está definida por dos secuencias sísmicas (inferior y superior), y cada una de ellas comprende internamente unidades sísmicas. El desarrollo de esta estratigrafía y de su arquitectura ha estado controlado por cambios del nivel del mar. Las divisiones estratigráficas definidas representan la respuesta costera al último estadio transgresivo y de alto nivel del mar de 4º orden, modulado por pequeñas oscilaciones (≈1-2 m) de nivel del mar de 5º y 6º orden. Por otra parte, el presente estudio mue...

“…Several studies from northern Queensland suggest sea levels reached no higher than +1.7m before falling to present levels after 2,000 cal. yr BP (Baker and Haworth, 2000;Chappell, 1983;Larcombe and Carter, 1998;Larcombe et al, 1995;Lewis et al, 2008;Woodroffe, 2009). Studies from the outer Great Barrier Reef do not record emergence during the Holocene, suggesting hydro-isostatic flexure of the shelf (Chappell et al, 1982;Hopley, 1994;Lewis et al, 2013).…”

A wealth of palaeoecological studies from the Australasian region identify periods of significant environmental change during the Holocene. However, relatively few studies have focused on the coastal lowlands of tropical northern Australia, limiting our ability to accurately reconstruct this vast bioregion's history. This study addresses the gap in spatially distributed paleoenvironmental research in northern Australia by producing the first reconstructions from the South Wellesley This research examined seven sediment profiles using micro X-ray fluorescence geochemical data and particle size analysis.
