Abstract
    The importance of loss-on-ignition (LOI) and organic matter (OM) analyses in Holocene sea-level and coastal evolution research is reviewed, and recommendations for better-informed inclusion of LOI and differential thermogravimetric analysis (DTGA) in sea-level studies are presented. Focus also centers on the significance of autocompaction, and the use of LOI data for its correction, with respect to Holocene intertidal sediment successions and saltmarsh sedimentary archives of historical sea-level change. Finally, we comment on the use of δ13C and C/N ratio data for determining OM provenance in relation to studies of coastal change over a range of timescales.
