Australian Ocean Data Network hosts a dataset detailing a 1500-year record of coastal sediment accumulation preserved in beach deposits at Keppel Bay, Queensland, Australia. The study examines ridge morphology, sediment texture, and geochemistry, building a chronology using optically stimulated luminescence dating. The dataset was last updated on 2026-05-05.
Use Cases
- Analyzing shoreline accumulation rate changes based on the detailed chronology
- Investigating catchment sediment source areas based on sediment texture and geochemistry
- Studying minor falls in relative sea level based on ridge morphology and succession
Strengths
- Dataset covers a 1500-year temporal record
- Analysis includes multiple methods: ridge morphology, sediment texture, and geochemistry
Limitations
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
