Purpose
|
The purpose of the proposed work is to generate high-resolution records of
sea-level change in Bermuda over the last 2000 years using mangrove sediments
and consolidated limestone sediments comprised largely of dead coral
skeletons.This study will provide the first direct comparison of these
independent approaches and an extended instrumental (tide gauge) record. This
study will be the first to directly compare the two methods in the same location
and will serve to validate them both. Additionally, high resolution records of
sea-level change spanning the last 2000 years provide an appropriate context for
current and predicted changes. Such reconstructions also provide important
constraints on future projections of sea-level rise.
