Thermoluminescence Ages For A Reworked Coastal Barrier, Southeastern Vietnam: A Preliminary Report, Colin Murray-Wallace, Brian Jones, Tran Nghi, David Price, Vu Vinh, Trinh Tinh, Gerald Nanson

Thermoluminescence dating of quartz sand (90-125 μm) from the coastal barrier successions between Phan Thiet and Tuy Phong, southeastern Vietnam, reveals that a substantial component was deposited during the last interglacial sensu lato (Oxygen Isotope Stage 5) between 108 and 85 ka. The barrier successions have subsequently, in places, experienced multiple phases of aeolian reworking during the last glacial cycle, and in particular between 62 and 19 ka, possibly related to reduced vegetation cover and landscape instability caused by climatic change. The difficulties of applying the thermoluminescence (TL) method in areas of intense tropical weathering are also examined.

Contrasting Sedimentation Rates In Lake Illawarra And St Georges Basin, Two Large Barrier Estuaries On The Southeast Coast Of Australia, Colin Murray-Wallace, Brian Jones, Craig Sloss, H Heijnis, B Brooke

Sedimentation rates over the last 100 years within two lagoons on the southeast coast of Australia, Lake Illawarra and St Georges Basin, have been quantified to determine the effects of catchment land use change and native vegetation clearance on infill rates, and spatial variations in the rate at which the estuaries have filled. Both catchments have similar lake and catchment area but have experience different degrees of modification due to land clearing for agriculture practices, urbanisation and industrialisation. Results indicate that in the heavily modified catchment of Lake Illawarra sedimentation rates close to fluvial deltas can be in excess of …
