Quantitative vertical zonation of salt-marsh foraminifera for reconstructing former sea level : an example from New Jersey, USA

We present a quantitative technique to reconstruct sea level from assemblages of salt-marsh foraminifera using partitioning around medoids (PAM) and linear discriminant functions (LDF). The modern distribution of foraminifera was described from 62 surface samples at three salt marshes in southern Ne...
