Classification of barrier island morphology stems from the seminal work of MO Hayes and
others, which linked island shape to tidal range and wave height and defined coastal energy …

This paper reviews recent work, particularly from eastern Canada, on the dynamics and
evolution of coarse clastic barriers. It is argued that an understanding of Quaternary coastal …

The glaciation history of Svalbard (78° N) and the NW Barents Sea is reconstructed for the
last 130 ka, based on studies of sediments exposed in coastal cliffs at the head of Isfjorden …

Twelve palaeogeographical reconstructions illustrate environmental changes at the
southwest rim of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet 40–15 kyr BP. Synchronised land, sea and …

Analysis of a large data base of ground‐penetrating‐radar (GPR) profiles from both natural
and developed paraglacial barriers along the coast of New England has allowed …

Beaches and barriers on many mid-to high-latitude coasts comprise mixtures of fine and
coarse clastic materials forming a distinctive morphodynamic environment. In many cases …

The continental to marine Upper Triassic–Jurassic succession of the Danish Basin and the
Fennoscandian Border Zone is interpreted within a sequence stratigraphic framework, and …

Upper‐flow‐regime bedforms, including upper‐stage‐plane beds, antidunes, chutes‐and‐
pools and cyclic steps, are ubiquitous in glacigenic depositional environments characterized …

The integration of core sedimentology, seismic stratigraphy and seismic geomorphology has
enabled interpretation of delta‐scale (ie tens of metres high) subaqueous clinoforms in the …

Marine transgression across glaciated terrain can produce striking coastal landscapes.
Drumlin archipelagos such as Boston Harbour (in the northeastern USA), Mahone Bay (in …
