North Atlantic Climate–Ocean Variations and Sea Level in Long Island Sound, Connecticut, Since 500 cal yr A.D.
Abstract A record of detrended mean high water (MHW) variations from Hammock River marsh, Connecticut, is extended from ca. 850 to ca. 500 cal yr A.D. and correlated with summer-temperature reconstructions from northern Fennoscandia and northern Eurasia, Greenland Ice Sheet Project 2 δ 18 O, and Gre...
