Description :
Records of stable carbon isotopes (δ13C) are presented from cores collected from 4 San Francisco Bay marshes and used as a proxy for changes in estuary salinity. The 4 marshes included in this study are located along a natural salinity gradients that exists in the San Francisco Bay, and records of vegetation change at all 4 sites can be used to infer changes in overall estuary paleosalinity. The δ13C values complement pollen data from the same marsh sites producing a paleoclimate record for the late Holocene period in the San Francisco Bay estuary.
