BEACH RESPONSE TO LONG PERIOD LAKE-LEVEL VARIATION

Analysis of Long-Term Water Level Variation in Dongting Lake, China

The water level of Dongting Lake has changed because of the combined impact of climatic change and anthropogenic activities. A study of the long-term statistical properties of water level variations at Chenglingji station will help with the management of water resources in Dongting Lake. In this case, 54 years of water level data for Dongting Lake were analyzed with the non-parametric Mann–Kend...

Tasmanian Beach Ridge Systems in Relation to Sea Level Change

Both sand and pebble beach systems in Tasmania show an overall decrease in height seaward which may be correlated with a fall of sea-level occurring while they were being formed. This fall from the postglacial Milford shoreline was of the order of 2 or 3 ft. in south-eastern Tasmania, but about 5 or 6 ft. elsewhere.
