dc.description.abstractThe Holocene sea-level and associated shoreline regression of beach ridges in the central west coast of India have been reconstructed based on internal sedimentary architecture and luminescence chronology. For this purpose, various techniques namely ground penetrating radar (GPR), optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating, and interferometry synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) have been used. The berm and beach-dune boundary of paleo beach ridges have been mapped from the high-resolution sub-surface images and converted into sea-level indicators using modern analogs and OSL ages. GPR reflection data shows a number of seaward dipping radar facies with a few landward dipping facies in paleo beach ridges. In the case of the swale, radar signal has been highly attenuated due to the presence of water and mud causing the appearance of multiple horizontal and parallel positive and negative couplets in the sedimentary layer. The results of the research reveal that the oldest beach ridge was formed around 7.7 kyr BP and sea-level was +2 m above mean sea-level. The average progradation rate of these ridges is 0.14 m/yr. From the grain size analysis, it has been found that the larger share of grain size falls into the classes of fine and moderate sand. The present displacement map of the region, which has been generated from the Sentinel-1 datasets, demonstrates that the average upliftment is 2.5 mm/yr whereas subsidence is 1 mm/yr. The fall of the Holocene relative sea-level with respect to the study region is the consequence of both global and regional events.
