Modeling sea level rise and shoreline change in a complex sedimentary environment: Case study from Chesapeake Bay (2015)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Leslie Reeder-Myers.

Accurate estimates of past shoreline locations are important for archaeologist interested in the complex relationships between sea level rise and human ecology. However, shoreline reconstructions require careful consideration of highly variable eustatic, isostatic, tectonic, and sedimentary processes. In the Chesapeake Bay, records from marsh cores have produced high resolution models of relative sea level rise since the Bay first emerged between 8000-7000 BP, influenced by both global sea level...
