abstract

  • Analysis of over 500 km of recently acquired, high resolution continuous seismic reflection profiles and additional vibracores from the inner shelf indicates the existence of inlet fills in the position of the presumed overstepped lagoon. This suggests that the ancestral barriers have migrated landward continuously during the Holocene, and that in-place drowning and shoreline skipping have not occurred. -from Authors
