This paper presents new evidence for last-glacial low-stand sedimentation on the continentalshelf, as determined from radiocarbon dating and amino acid racemization analyses. The results also indicate climate-induced changes in the nature

Buried late Quaternary fluvial channels on the Louisiana continentalshelf, USA
On the subsiding shelf of Louisiana extensive systems of buried channels, corresponding to former fluvial systems, have been recognized at five different levels. Some channels are even larger than the modern Mississippi River.

stratigraphic, tectonic and seismologic aspects and is crucial for the definition of Late Quaternary Adriatic basin evolution. This work gives a contribution of geomorphological data concerning the inner continentalshelf around the islands. - (NF)
The flooding of the Maltese shelf during the Holocene deposited transgressive sand and gravel directly over Tertiary carbonates. Post-transgressive carbonate sedimentation is controlled by the distal location of the shelf within non-tropical
and oligotrophic nutrient conditions that allow moderate to low carbonate production along most of the shelf area down to >50 m water depth. The geographical variations in the content of metastable carbonates within biogenic sand are related to shelf long profile
Latest Quaternary and Holocene paleoceanography of the eastern Baffin Island continentalshelf, Canada : benthic foraminiferal evidence
The AA. summarize the benthic foraminiferal zonation of the first piston and gravity cores studied from the continentalshelf of eastern Baffin Island and the paleoceanographic implications of the zones for the deglacial and postglacial history
High-resolution seismic stratigraphy has been applied to the interpretation of the stratigraphic architecture of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene successions on the continentalshelf and upper slope of the Gulf of Castellammare, North-Western
continentalshelf during the genesis of a fourth order depositional sequence. - (NF)
Deformation of the North Queensland continentalshelf in the late Quaternary in Shorelines and isostasy.
The Holocene warping of the continentalshelf in central and northern Queensland is interpreted as due to differential hydro-isostatic effects, possibly enhanced by a regional tectonic downwarping of the Halifax basin. (P. A. Pirazzoli).
