Late Holocene coastal plain, stratigraphy and sea-level history at Hanalei, Kauai, Hawaiian Islands

Auteur(s) et Affiliation(s)



Description :
Fluvial, marine, and mixed fluvial-marine deposition on the coastal plain of Hanalei Bay on the north shore of Kauai, Hawaii, records a middle- to late-Holocene fall of relative sea level. The age and elevation of the cored regression boundary at sites that have not been influenced by erosion are consistent with a middle- to late-Holocene highstand of relative sea level as predicted by geophysiscal models of whole Earth deformation related to deglaciation.
