Sea-level rise poses a substantial threat to the densely populated coastal regions of North China. Strategy development for mitigation of these threats will be aided by reliable projections of future sea-level rise, which requires quantifying drivers of sea-level change through high-quality relative sea-level (RSL) records. However, the standardized compilation of RSL data in the North China coast remains poorly established. Therefore, my research aims to further constrain mechanisms responsible for Holocene RSL change in North China. In this work, a complete RSL record will be constructed through a database that synthesizes multiple sea level proxies in the Bohai and Yellow Seas. I will then use glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) model predictions to quantify the contributions of local- to regional-scale processes driving RSL variability on the North China coast.
