Quantifying Holocene Sea Level Change Using Intertidal Foraminifera: Lessons from the British Isles
TL;DR: The results of surface foraminiferal surveys from fifteen study sites located on the east, south and west coasts of Great Britain, and the west coast of Ireland were used to summarize the contemporary distributions of intertidal foraminifera around the British Isles, and to examine the environmental controls governing them as mentioned in this paper.

The analysis of Last Interglacial (MIS 5e) relative sea-level indicators: Reconstructing sea-level in a warmer world
Alessio Rovere,Alessio Rovere,Maureen E. Raymo,Matteo Vacchi,Thomas Lorscheid,Thomas Lorscheid,Paolo Stocchi,Lluís Gómez-Pujol,Daniel L. Harris,Daniel L. Harris,Elisa Casella,Michael O'Leary,Paul J. Hearty +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the characteristics of MIS 5e field observations, and set the basis for a standardized approach to MIS 5 e paleo sea-level reconstructions, that is already successfully applied in Holocene sea level research.

Sea-Level Rise on Eastern China's Yangtze Delta
TL;DR: In this article, the authors find that sea level has been rising relative to the southern Yangtze delta plain based on new sea-level data derived from dated peats, reassessment of earlier sea level curves and measurement of delta plain subsidence and analysis of prehistoric habitat bases from ~7000 to 3000 yrs BP.

Surges, atmospheric pressure and wind change and flooding probability on the Atlantic coast of France
TL;DR: A statistical study of hourly tide-gauge records at Saint-Gildas, Saint-Nazaire, Port Tudy, Brest, Le Conquet and Roscoff, as well of three-hourly wind and air pressure records at Belle Ile and Ouessant over the last 50 years, has made possible the definition of the main meteorological factors which are associated with the development of positive or negative surges as discussed by the authors.

Compilation of geophysical, geochronological, and geochemical evidence indicates a rapid Mediterranean-derived submergence of the Black Sea's shelf and subsequent substantial salinification in the early Holocene
Anastasia G. Yanchilina,Anastasia G. Yanchilina,William B. F. Ryan,Jerry F. McManus,Petko Dimitrov,Dimitar Dimitrov,Krasimira Slavova,Mariana Filipova-Marinova +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a suite of geophysical, geochemical, and geochronological methods were used to investigate the timing, rate, and key mechanisms involved in the transformation of the previously isolated Black Sea-lake to the modern partly-enclosed marine sea using a suiteof geophysical and geochemical methods.

A review of the source, behaviour and distribution of arsenic in natural waters
TL;DR: The scale of the problem in terms of population exposed to high As concentrations is greatest in the Bengal Basin with more than 40 million people drinking water containing ‘excessive’ As as mentioned in this paper.

Post-glacial sea-level changes around the Australian margin: a review
TL;DR: In a recent review as discussed by the authors, the authors revisited these key studies emphasizing their continuing influence on Quaternary research and incorporating relatively recent investigations to interpret the nature of postglacial sea-level change around Australia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide a compilation of 890 records of paleoshoreline sequences, with particular emphasis on the last interglacial stage (Marine Isotopic Stage [MIS] 5e, ~ 122 ka), and show that most coastal segments have risen relative to sea-level with a mean uplift rate higher than 0.2 mm/yr.
