Tectonic influences on late Holocene relative sea levels from the central-eastern Adriatic coast of Croatia by Shaw, Timothy Adam, Plater, Andrew J., Kirby, Jason R., Roy, Keven, Holgate, Simon, Tutman, Pero, Cahill, Niamh, Horton, Benjamin Peter

“…Here, we compare reconstructions of RSL from the central-eastern Adriatic coast of Croatia with ICE-7G_NA (VM7) glacial-isostatic model RSL predictions to assess underlying driving mechanisms of RSL change during the past ∼ 2700 years. Local standardized published sea-level index points (n = 23) were combined with a new salt-marsh RSL reconstruction and tide-gauge measurements. …”
