Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway
Boreas, EarlyView.The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant
