“…However, these and other early microfossil studies were also semi-quantitative and relied on differences between intertidal elevational zones with broad ranges to estimate RSL changes (e.g., Nelson and Kashima, 1993;Darienzo et al, 1994Darienzo et al, , 1995Hemphill-Haley, 1995, Nelson et al, 1996aAtwater and Hemphil-Haley, 1997;Shennan et al, 1998;Williams and Hutchinson, 2000;Scott et al, 2001;Hawkes et al, 2005). In the late 1990s, application of transfer function analysis, widely used on microfossils from deep marine cores to reconstruct climate change, revitalized studies of Holocene sealevel change on many coasts (e.g., Horton et al, 1999;Gehrels et al 2001;Horton and Edwards, 2006;Kemp et al, 2009) including Cascadia (e.g., Guilbault et al, 1995Guilbault et al, , 1996Hughes et al, 2002;Sabean, 2004;Nelson et al, 2008;Hawkes et al, 2010).…”
