Late Holocene differential subsidence and relative sea level rise in the Tabasco Delta, Mexico

Late Holocene differential subsidence and relative sea level rise in the Tabasco Delta, Mexico

<p>Coastal subsidence owing to compaction of Holocene strata and deeper-rooted components affects large delta plains such as the Tabasco delta in southern Mexico (Gulf coast). For this system, GNSS3-PPP ground-truthed LiDAR imagery of high-resolution dated beach-ridge series reveals considerab...
