What Lies Beneath: Using Mangrove Peat to Study Ancient Coastal Environments and Sea-Level Rise
linkThis video describes how scientists study past changes in sea-level and coastal environments by analyzing mangrove peat. Mangrove islands located off the coast of Belize are underlain by deep deposits of peat (organic soil), which retain a record of past sea level, vegetation, and climate.
