Description

Three paleo-embayments on the southwest side of the uplifted Ahuriri Inlet, Hawkes Bay, contain complex interfingering sequences of Holocene terrestrial and saltmarsh peat and intertidal shelly sand and mud. We use 295 foraminiferal samples from 45 short cores (up to 8 m deep) to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental history of the bays. We infer that the strongest influence on their paleoenvironmental history was 8–10 m of net tectonic subsidence since 7.3 ka, which provided the accommodation s...
