Reconstruction and modelling of Holocene coastal evolution of the western Netherlands

Large-scale coastal evolution in the western Netherlands during the Holocene was characterised by an initial stage of transgression followed by a stage of coastal progradation. The last 2000 years, the position of coastline of the western Netherlands was relatively stable, with local retreat and advance. Coastal deposits from the western Netherlands have been studied in detail at the Ypenburg area, in cores from coast-perpendicular cross sections near Haarlem and Wassenaar and in cores from the modern shoreface. The age of deposition has been determined with AMS 14C dating of single shells. A... Mehr ...
