Abstract

The uplift rates calculated for Tasmania by Shin (2013) are not supported by the data presented in his paper. The OSL ages obtained indicate a Last Glacial age and fluvial origin for many of the deposits analysed. OSL ages obtained on sediments at Mary Ann Bay in southern Tasmania confirm recent research indicating a Last Glacial age and aeolian deposition of the sands rather than marine (Last Interglacial) deposition. Anomalously high uplift rates for southern Tasmania, proposed by earlier researchers and Shin (2013), are discounted.
