There are signs accumulating everywhere that the views so logically pressed to their conclusion by Hutton and Playfair, and by a great catena of geologists, since the appearance of the first edition of Lyell's “Principles of Geology,” have received a certain check; and no one can read the works of the great Continental geologists without seeing that there is a tendency to reconsider the position, and to hark back to the views of another school of teachers.

Raised Beaches

In Professor Prestwich's important paper on the Raised Beaches of the South of England the following passage occurs: “In Torbay there are small portions of a Raised Beach near Paignton…” As on the strength of this statement the line of Raised Beaches is carried in the map round the extreme present limits of Torbay, and the hitherto universally accepted doctrine, that Raised Beaches do not occur in the softer parts of the coast-line, is thus controverted, the assertion is one of considerable importance.

Raised Beaches

The Cambridge Spitsbergen Expedition, 1938 (Polar Record No. 17, p. 4), was led by L. H. McCabe for intensive geomorphological work in the Campbell Range at the head of Billen Bay, Ice Fjord. The principal work on nivation and corrie erosion (McCabe, 1939) was supplemented by topographical and geological survey, while some detailed investigations were made on the raised beaches and “soil polygons.” During this work a party of three crossed the ice divide by sledge to East Fjord, Wijde Bay, and spent ten days working from the northern side of the Stubendorff Glacier. The Stubendorff Mountains in this region were chosen for comparison of corrie erosion on account of their contrasting geological constitution. They are carved out of tough folded metamorphic rocks while the Campbell Range is formed of softer horizontal Carboniferous rocks.

Abstract. The interglacial marine beaches (Sicilian, Milazzian etc.) are mostly explained as signs of ancient higher ocean levels. But where we can prove the height of ancient ocean levels, this is not very different from the present one. The ancient beaches cannot be explained by sinking of the ocean level, but only by rise of the continents. Thus they are really „raised beaches".

Shoreline Displacement

Abstract. Postglacial land uplift is a complex process related to the continental ice retreat that took place about 10 000 years ago and thus started the viscoelastic response of the Earth's crust to rebound back to its equilibrium state. To empirically model the land uplift process based on past behaviour of shoreline displacement, data points of known spatial location, elevation and dating are needed. Such data can be obtained by studying the isolation of lakes and mires from the sea. Archaeological data on human settlements (i.e. human remains, fireplaces etc.) are also very useful as the settlements were indeed situated on dry land and were often located close to the coast. This information can be used to validate and update the postglacial land uplift model. In this paper, a collection of data underlying empirical land uplift modelling in Fennoscandia is presented. The data set is available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.905352 (Pohjola et al., 2019).
