Coseismic VS climatic effects in the record of relative sea-level changes: an example from last interglacials in SE Spain.

Trying to decipher how palaeoseismic activity has influenced the altitudinal disposition of interglacial deposits is one of the main challenges that must be achieved in order to quantify relative sea-level changes between consecutive highstands. Likewise, identifying palaeoseismic features in an are...

Descrição
Resumo:Trying to decipher how palaeoseismic activity has influenced the altitudinal disposition of interglacial deposits is one of the main challenges that must be achieved in order to quantify relative sea-level changes between consecutive highstands. Likewise, identifying palaeoseismic features in an area with low instrumental seismic activity can implement the seismic record and contribute to better seismic hazard knowledge. In this sense, Cope basin (SE Spain) becomes a reference basin to undertake this kind of analysis, firstly because of excellent outcrop conditions and secondly because the sea-level record is undoubtedly conditioned here by both effects: climatically driven changes and local and regional seismotectonics.
