- •
We examine how changes in sea level and climate affected estuarine environments in Baffin Bay, Tx.
- •
5 flooding surfaces coeval with climate changes were found in estuarine stratigraphy.
- •
Flooding surfaces occur through a time-period of ever decreasing rates of relative sea level rise.
- •
Climate changes independent of decimeter-scale changes in sea level may drive km-scale changes in coastlines.
- •
Land-use and climate changes may affect coastal systems through changes in sediment supply.
