	abstract = {We propose that late Wisconsin deposition and erosion (Hudson Shelf and Block Island valleys) on the shelf and slope from New Jersey to southern New England were a consequence of the catastrophic drainage of glacial lakes behind terminal moraine systems and the huge volume of water stored beneath the Laurentian ice sheet and subsequent erosion of the lake sediments by flash floods. The morphology imparted by glaciation regulated the discharge associated with the ablation of the glaciers. Associated with the deposits west of Hudson Shelf Valley are the remains of mammoth and mastodon which were transported from their living habitats along the lake shores to their present burial sites on the shelf. The floods also triggered gravity flows on the upper continental slope which made possible the transportation of coarse debris over hundreds of km into the deep-sea. That these catastrophic hood morphologies can still be recognized on the middle to outer shelf suggest that much of its surface was little modified during the late Pleistocene/Holocene transgression. Thus the late Pleistocene/Holocene transgression may have been characterized by short periods when sea level rose rapidly allowing for the preservation of relict features.

	abstract = {The last glacial deposits in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf consist of a > 22,000 year old paralic terrigenous sequence in the Mesopotamia Shelf, the foredeep in front of the Iranian Zagros Mountains and the northern side of the Biaban Shelf. Elsewhere, the Gulf, and probably the Biaban Shelf, were mantled by > 30,000 year old carbonates. Comparison of C-14 data from foraminifera from the last glacial terrigenous unit in the foredeep off Iran with curves published by Hopley [Hopley, D., 1982. The Geomorphology of the Great Barrier Reef: Quaternary Development of Coral Reefs. Wiley, New York, 453 pp.] and Chapell et al. [Chapell, J., Omura, A., Tezer, E., McCulloch, M., Pandolfi, J., Ota, Y., Pillans, B., 1996. Reconciliation of late Quaternary sea levels derived from coral terraces at Huon Peninsula with deep sea oxygen isotope records. Earth Planet. Sci. Lett. 141, 227-236.] indicates that the region may have experienced uplift during the last glacial, whereas other geologic data indicate that the foredeep has had a history of continuous subsidence during the Cenozoic. A possible explanation for this discrepancy is that the foraminifera analyzed are not in place, but were reworked into shallower water during the Holocene transgression. However, the foraminifera analyzed do not display any evidence of wear, indicating that such transport was limited. A third alternative is that sea level during the last glacial was much higher than indicated by the curves of Hopley and Chapell et al.At the peak of the last glaciation 21,000 to 20,000 years ago, when sea level was 120 m lower than now, the Gulf was a waterless basin and deposition was negligible. On the Biaban Shelf, the Holocene transgressive sequence resting unconformably on last glacial sediments consists of 14,000 year old carbonates, a > 11,000 year old terrigenous delta on the northern end of the Biaban Shelf and 11,000-10,000 year old intertidal-tidal aragonite deposited in a dry climate. On the northeast side of the Gulf, the last glacial sediments are covered by 10,000 to 7000 year old aragonite muds (younging toward the northwest). Resting on the aragonites on the Biaban Shelf and on the northeast and northwest sides of the Gulf are marls deposited under the present humid climate. The southwest side of the Gulf continued to be a site of carbonate deposition throughout the Holocene. Comparison of AMS C-14 measurements of the late Holocene marls with the sea level curve of Fairbanks [Fairbanks, R.G., 1989. A 17,000 year glacio-eustatic sea level record; influence of glacial melting rates and the Younger Dryas event and deep-ocean circulation. Nature 342, 637-642.] indicates that the axial zone of the Gulf off Iran experienced subsidence during the Holocene. This subsidence coupled with a rapid rise in sea level during a major glacial melt 9500 to 8500 years ago, when global sea level rose from -50 to -28 m, led to the replacement of marl with a shallow (8-25 m) water fauna by a {\textquoteright}deep{\textquoteright} (> 50 m) water one. Similar measurements and other geologic data indicate that the Mesopotamia Shelf and the mouth of the Mesopotamian Depression on the northwest side of the Gulf underwent both subsidence and uplift during the Cenozoic. These vertical oscillations, however, were more subdued than these in the foredeep off iran. The Arabian Shelf along the Gulfs southwest side appears to have experienced minor uplift during the Cenozoic. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.},

	abstract = {High resolution 3.5 kHz echo sounding profiles and piston cores were used to reconstruct the microtopography and late Quaternary depositional history of the Persian Gulf. Perversive throughout the seafloor of the Gulf is an extensive network of pockmarks formed by seepages of thermogenic gas. These gas seeps and bottom water exiting the Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz are the most significant processes controlling present-day sedimentation in the region. Erosion by these seeps has been so intense in the Baiban Shelf in the Strait of Hormuz as to create a {\textquoteright}{\textquoteright}hoodoo{\textquoteright}{\textquoteright} like terrain on the outer shelf. The surfical geology of the Gulf documents a short lived transgression 29,400 to 22,800 years ago during the Wisconsin regression which began 125,000 years ago, the Wisconsin regressive maxima when sea level dropped to -120/-130 m about 21,000/20,000 years ago and the climate was dry and eolian and paralic sedimentation characterized the Gulf, the Holocene transgression 18,000 to 12,000 years ago when the climate was more humid than during the climax of the Wisconsin regression, a dry phase 12,000 to 9000 years ago when the Persian Gulf was a site of eolian and carbonate deposition, and the present sediment cycle during the last 9000 years under a more humid regime. It was during the present cycle that southeast trending marl lobes were deposited off Iran, Arabia acquired its hyper-arid climate about 3000 years ago and the Gulf attained its present configuration about 1000 years ago as a result of the construction of the Tigris Euphrates Delta at its head and tectonism and aggradation along its Arabian and Iranian flanks.},
