Late Devensian and holocene relative sea-level change around Ireland
Late Devensian and Holocene Relative Sea-Level Change Around Ireland. All records of Irish sea level since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) reflect the interplay of both glacio-isostatic and eustatic components with the isostatic signature being derived from the lithospheric response to local, regiona...
