Late Wisconsinan sea levels on the Southeast U.S. Atlantic shelf based on in-place shoreline indicators
January 1, 1979
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. Copyright ?? 1979 AAAS.
