Abstract:Abstact
When sea‐level rise slowed down in the middle Holocene, fluvial and coastal sediments filled the newly created accommodation, whilst others remained largely unfilled because of limited sediment supply. In view of current and future rapid sea‐level rise, the question arises how estuarine systems will adapt and whether the land‐level rise may keep up. Besides geological data and conceptual models of large‐scale and long‐term estuary filling, little is known about the filling process during sea‐level rise… Show more
