Uranium-series dating of corals from marine deposits of the U.S. Atlantic Coastal Plain coupled with paleoclimatic reconstructions based on ostracode (marine) and pollen (continent) data document at least five relatively warm intervals during the last 500,000 years. On the basis of multiple paleoenvironmental criteria, we determined relative sea level positions during the warm intervals, relati...

abstract: identification of spatial-temporal anomalies sea level pressure in part of northern hemisphere was the main aim in this research. for this purpose six hourly data used from the to eastern longitude and to northern latitude. in this location, there are 825 pixels to geographical degree. therefore, database extent created. in this matrix, 825 are number of the pixels at that location an...

â â â  â  â â â â â â â  abstract â  the abtalkh formation in the kopeh-dagh basin in northeastern iran with an age of late cretaceous (turonian – santonian) is selected to evaluate resolution of magnetic susceptibility for assessing sea level fluctuations. thirty-nine shale samples were collected and studied for magnetic susceptibility and palynology. assuming the average ms magnitude as the...

Rising global sea level increases the vulnerability of coastal regions to storm surge flooding. The impact of extreme high waters resulting from the combination of tidal oscillations and changes in mean sea level and in storm surges during the 21st century has been explored in the Bizkaian coast (northern Spain). Mean sea level variations due to temperature changes were estimated from an ensemb...

[1] We compare the results of three baroclinic models with the aim of evaluating their skills in reproducing Mediterranean long-term sea level variability. The models are an ocean-ice coupled forced global model (ORCA), a regional forced ocean model (OM8) and a regional coupled atmosphere-ocean model (MITgcm). Model results are compared for the period 1961–2000 against hydrographic observations...

using satellite altimetry derived mean sea level (msl), geopotential coefficients in terms of ellipsoidal harmonics from recent satellite gravimetry missions, gravity potential values over a grid consisting of 33,486 points at global sea areas are computed and the mean value of the gravity potential at msl is calculated as a new geoid’s potential value. in this way we have exactly followed the ...

sea surface topography (sst) by definition is the separation between the geoid and the mean sea level (msl). the separation between the geoid and msl is caused by various non-gravitational physical effects. if determination of the geoid as the zero point of the height systems from the tide gauge observation be the goal, it is necessary that the affect of the physical effect be precisely compute...

caspian sea is the largest enclosed body of water on the earth. since the collapse of soviet union in 1991 and discovering large oil and gas fields, some issues such as political, economic and environmental events, made the caspian sea important. the ecology of the sea are being endangered due to several issues such as petroleum extraction, river and sea pollutions, water level rise, biological...

statistical studies on palynology contents of late cretaceous to paleocene age gurpi formation in a surface section in zagros basin,sw iran indicate changes in abundance, species diversity, ratio of spiniferites to cyclonephelium (s/c), palynological marine index(pmi) values and organic facies. these palynological variations clearly reflect fluctuations in relative sea-level and depositionalenv...
