Abstract: Core Evidence for a Major Marine Transgression During the Holocene of Southwestern Florida

Hugh J. Mitchell-Tapping, Thomas Lee, Aleta M. Mitchell-Tapping

In the literature, relative sea level rise in southern Florida averaged only about 4 cm/100 years since 3200 YBP to the present. It is generally thought that this gradual slow rate of continued relative rise permitted many coastlines to stabilize or begin expanding seaward and many shallow marine environments to build upward to present sea level.
