Sedimentary facies and invertebrate faunal exchange confirm humid conditions in the tropical eastern Atlantic during interglacial Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 11c Open
The geological study of Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 11c (424–397 ka) is key to reconstructing the climatic and oceanographic conditions during one of the longest and the warmest interglacial in the last 1 million years. Moreover, interglac…

Holocene relative sea-level changes from the Atlantic coast of South America Open
Holocene sea-level changes along the Atlantic coast of South America reflect a complex interplay between glacio-isostatic adjustment (GIA), regional tectonics, and local sedimentary processes. However, the uneven spatial and temporal resol…

Palaeoenvironmental implications of Late Quaternary bioerosion traces in central Patagonia (Southern Atlantic, Argentina) Open
Bioerosion is a valuable tool for inferring palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic changes over time and across different regions. However, studies of bioerosion traces are scarce in the Southern Hemisphere. Most ichnological studies withi…
View article: Reconstructing past sea-level changes from storm-built beach ridges
Reconstructing past sea-level changes from storm-built beach ridges Open
Storm-built beach ridges, built by waves on sedimentary coasts, can be used as geomorphological indicators of past sea level. However, quantifying the relationship between the geomorphological elements of the ridge and the paleo sea level …
