Abstract
This volume is concerned with the application of high-resolution coastal records to the development and testing of tectonics models. The case studies are at scales ranging from global to regional and local, and deal with glacio-isostasy, relative sea-level changes and seismic and aseismic crustal deformation at a variety of time scales. Data are drawn from a wide variety of disciplines, including geology, seismology, geodesy, geomorphology, geochronology and archaeology. The contributions provide a multidisciplinary, international review at a time when satellite monitoring, advanced modelling and sophisticated dating are transforming the subject from a descriptive historical branch of Earth science into a predictive tool addressing real societal needs.
