Southeast South Australia is a unique geomorphological province, preserving geographically extensive Quaternary coastal barrier successions that have formed since approximately 1 Ma. This region is considered a natural laboratory for reconstructing glacio-eustatic sea-level changes due to its far-field location remote from the former Northern Hemisphere ice sheets and a relatively high level of tectonic stability. More importantly, a consistent rate of epeirogenic uplift within this region provides an opportunity to document a record of the long-term coastal barrier evolution and its associated palaeosea-levels. Robe Range, the seaward-most onshore coastal barrier associated with Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5 interstadials, is currently undergoing rapid coastal erosion since the culmination of Holocene post-glacial relative sea-level rise some 7000 years ago. The erosion has revealed a complex geological record with respect to the history of coastal barrier deposition determined from ex ....
