Abstract
Marine sediments deposited some 14,000 years ago, when the sea level was between 80 and 100 m below the present sea level, have been found exposed at about 17 m in altitude near Tu-lan, on the east coast of Taiwan. This implies a minimum average uplift rate of 7.6 ± 0.9 mm/yr; similar values of tectonic uplift are not uncommon on the eastern Coastal Range of Taiwan. Such rates of tectonic uplift, among the highest reported in the literature, are of the same order as present-day maximum glacio-isostatic uplift rates.
