Preface

The book series “Developments in Paleoenvironmental Research (DPER)” was launched in 2001 due to the rapid expansion of the field during the preceding two decades. The first four volumes introduced methodologies used by paleolimnologists, while the fifth book in the series focused on data handling and numerical techniques. The subsequent volumes have addressed a wide variety of paleoenvironmental applications. The idea for the present volume first emerged at a workshop centering on paleoestuarine studies funded by the Austra
