| Abstract | The Holocene sequence of the Humber Estuary displays a wide range of sediment types within which the preservation of microfossils is highly variable. Its evolution has been reconstructed using a range of environmental proxies with chronological control provided by more than 90 radiocarbon dates. Results are presented of diatom analyses from three cores typical of the inner, middle and outer estuary (HMB20, HMB7 and HMB12) and of three cores that illustrate the role of organic deposits (peats) and their associated pollen (HMB13, HMB12 and the Ancholme Valley) in the definition of sea-level index points. The reconstruction of relative sea-level... |
