How do sea-level curves influence modeled marine terrace sequences?

A new paper based on TerraceM-2 modelling

Wednesday 22 April 2020 at 5:45 pm.

Here we explore the influence of Quaternary SL curves on the geometry of marine terrace sequences using landscape evolution models (LEMs) available in TerraceM-2.

1) A landscape evolution modeling approach enriches marine terrace analyses.

2) Sea-level curve shapes set the RMS misfit between modeled and observed sequences.

3) A higher sea-level curve resolution generally leads to more modeled terraces.

4) The geometry of old, slow uplifting sequences is very sensitive to sea-level noise.

5) Younger, faster uplifting sequences are favorable for landscape evolution modeling.
