Compaction of Holocene strata and the implications for relative sealevel change on the east coast of England

The contribution of compaction of Holocene strata to sea-level rise, shoreline erosion, and wetland loss is difficult to decipher because of a lack of long-term empirical data. We analyzed more than 360 radiocarbon-dated index points to constrain relative sea levels along the east coast of England d...
