Abstract

A new interpretation of late Pleistocene sea levels on the U.S. Atlantic continental shelf is based on in-place lagoonal and salt-marsh sediments obtained from vibra-cores. These data show sea levels during the last Wisconsinan transgression were about 30 meters shallower than is indicated by existing sea-level curves.

摘要

对美国大西洋大陆架晚更新世海平面的一种新解释是基于从振动岩芯获得的原地泻湖和盐沼沉积物。这些数据表明，末次威斯康星冰期海侵期间的海平面比现有海平面曲线显示的要浅约30米。
