However, the isotope record has to be calibrated to independent information from dated marine shorelines.
We describe a multi-year effort testing whether an enhanced site has improved conditions in Seattle, WA, USA, along urban marine shorelines of Puget Sound.
Similarly, erosional features such as lacustrine or marine shorelines, cirques, or other features of glacially eroded landscapes indicate in a general sense a particular type of climate, but quantitative paleoclimatic reconstructions based on this kind of information present real challenges.
Florida's marine shoreline totals more than 8,400 miles (13,500 km), including some 5,100 miles (8,200 km) along the gulf; among U.S. states, only Alaska has a longer coastline.
But even after the demand for their fur diminished, the damage didn't stop there because sea otters play a critical role in shaping healthy marine shoreline ecosystems, preying preferentially upon abalone, sea urchins, clams, crab, and other crustaceans -- which people also like to eat -- making them the bane of fishermen.
Many specimens were collected in pitfall traps [ 25], made from white plastic containers (~10 cm diameter × 12 cm deep) that were placed along the marine shoreline and in fen, bog, tundra, and forested sites.
Dating and topographic surveying of paleo-dunes (43 53 ka), paleo-marine terraces (17 30 ka), and paleo-marine shorelines (3.3 5.5 ka) document a rapid, > 1 mm/a subsidence, followed by a 6 mm/a uplift that is decreasing with time.
Despite large potentials for dispersal of planktonic larvae in many marine species, shoreline topography and ocean currents, in some cases, isolate populations and promote divergence (Cowen and Sponaugle 2009).
Vertical motions of the islands and coastline of southern California are elucidated by the presence of marine terraces (relict shorelines) observed on much of the coastline.
With up to 29.1 items of rubbish per square metre, the Indonesian archipelago has the world's second-highest concentration of shoreline marine debris after Sicily, which has 231 items per square metre.
Following the Mount Goodwin intervals, shallow Anisian Pollard marine carbonate and shoreline mixed with siliciclastic carbonates of the Carnian Ladinian Challis interval exhibit complex shallow marine facies, and both intervals have the potential to serve as good reservoirs (Cadman and Temple 2003).
