This book establishes sea-level movements in a limited geographical area, and proposes a new, much needed methodology for sea-level studies in humid, cool temperate latitudes. In surveying existing techniques and discussing the form and results of detailed stratigraphical and pollen analytical investigations the author not only provides a well-substantiated record of marine inundations but also uses a multi-disciplinary approach to devise methods for the study of sea-level movements. Geographers; geologists; botanists; those interested in coastal planning and conservation.
