Notes | Most of this paper is concerned with a technical discussion of a method for making estimates of coastal subsidence following great earthquakes by using bulk geochemistry, delta-13-Carbon and correlations of foraminifera found in sediments with sediment elevations. There is a brief discussion of the physical characteristics of Siletz Bay and a good review of distributions of present-day foraminifera, as well as what could be learned about the great earthquake of 1700. |
