Analysis of near-shore sediment cores suggests that transgressive and highstand shorelines prograded during the Holocene. The preservation of these deposits may be likely given the geometry and distribution of older, offshore shorelines. The Stage 5d and Stage 3 highstand shorelines prograded during an overall sea-level fall. High sediment supply from longshore transport preserved thick, aerially extensive shoreline deposits. Fluvial incision varied significantly during lowstand Stage 2. As the rate of base-level fall increased from Stage 3 to 2, low sediment supply rivers incised narrow, shallow channels with no deltaic deposition, whearas sediment bypass and deeper incision prevailed for the high sediment supply rivers. 177 p. application/pdf eng Copyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
