Abstract

Two revised relative sea-level (RSL) curves are presented for the Port au Choix to Daniel's Harbour area of the Great Northern Peninsula, northwestern Newfoundland. Both curves are similar, showing continuous emergence of 120-140 m between t4700 cal BP and present. The half-life of exponential curves fit to the data is 1400 years and the rate of emergence varies from -2.3 m century prior to 10 000 cal BP to -0.13 m per century since cal BP The curves fit a general pattern of RSL history along the coast of Newfoundland, where there is a southward transition solely emergence to emergence followed by submergence.
