Description

"Coastal geomorphic change results from sea-level rise and relative sea-level lowering associated with land rebound (postglacial isostatic rebound) subsequent to glacier retreat (Elliot et al., 2010; Larsen et al., 2005; Snay et al., 2016), along with other processes. Although sea-level rise is a noted climatic change threatening community viability (Hauer, Evans, and Mishra, 2016; Pachauri et al., 2014), effects of isostatic rebound may also be significant (Kont et al., 2008; Reeder-Myers et al., 2015)."
