Abstract
Morten Rasch & Niels Nielsen: Holocene Relative Sea-level Changes Indicated by Morphostratigraphic Sequences; Sinigfik, Disko Island, West Greenland. Geografisk Tidsskrift, Danish Journal of Geography 94:xx–xx, Copenhagen, Dec. 1994. A morphostratigraphic method is introduced in a study of Holocene relative sea-level changes at Sinigfik on the south coast of Disko Island, West Greenland. The method allows detection of relative sea-level rise interrupting the general Holocene emergence. It is concluded that the Holocene relative sea-level history at Sinigfik was one of steady emergence prior to c. 3 ka B P. A complex morphostratigraphic sequence near the present coastline might result from two emergence/submergence events within the last millenium. The geomorphology of the present coastline indicates extensive coastal recession, probably resulting from a relative sea- level rise at present.
