Description :
Holocene prograded coastal sequences at Becker/Rockingham, southern Western Australia, contain a detailed record of sea level over the last 6400 yr. Radiocarbon dating and use of a distinct stratigraphic indicator as a sea-level marker permit reconstruction of sea level history and suggest that the sea was at least 2.5 m above present datum about 6400 yr B.P. before falling to its present level.
