 the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of North America," Shore and Beach . Vol 50, No. 3, 

 pp 24-33. 



The author in this bibliography includes English language references 

 mostly published during the last 20 years up to March 1982. Lisle emphasizes 

 that his is a "selected" bibliography on reports with application to shore 

 zone processes along the Atlantic and gulf coasts of North America. This 

 annotated bibliography has been divided into seven categories: 



(1) General information on sea- level changes with reference to the 

 US Atlantic coast. 



(2) Geological evidence of sea-level change, references to 

 pre-Pleistocene fluctuations. 



(3) Atlantic coast of North America, references of an extended nature. 



(4) North Atlantic coast, evidence from north of New Jersey. 



(5) Mid-Atlantic coast, evidence from New Jersey through South 

 Carolina. 



(6) South Atlantic coast, Georgia, Florida, and the Bahamas. 



(7) Gulf coast. 



(8) McCloy's bibliography of 1964, references to the North American 

 east and gulf coasts. (Gorman).

Changing sea-level is currently a topic of great interest. Coastal 

 areas have experienced erosion, caused in large part by rising sea-level, that 

 has destroyed private homes, conmiercial property and public lands. Perhaps 

 the most extreme predictions on rising sea-level problems have been made in 

 recent EPA publications (Hoffman et al . , 1983; Barth and Titus, 1984). 

 According to these investigators sea-level rise will be accelerated over the 

 next century as the level of anthropogenic CO, increases in our atmosphere. 

 This will further acerbate an already serious problem along the U.S. developed 

 coastlines. This paper examines geological, historical, and current trends of 

 sea- level change along the United States coastlines with emphasis on the 

 Atlantic Coast, and considers some underlying reasons for these trends.

Condensed sections play a fundamental role in stratigraphic correlation, 

 both regionally and globally. Condensed sections are thin marine 

 stratigraphic units consisting of pelagic to hemipelagic sediments 

 characterized by very low-sedimentation rates. Areally, they are most 

 extensive at the time of maximum regional transgression of the shoreline.
