		During deglaciation, marine waters invaded the glacio-isostatically depressed coast of the island leading to the deposition of raised deltas, beaches, and sea-ice transported debris now lying to maximum elevations of 35 to 86 m above modern sea level.
		In some sectors of the island, modern rivers running through underconsolidated Cretaceous and Tertiary fine grained bedrock transport high loads of sediments and allow progradation of bird foot deltas in this transgressive setting.
		This rapid and recent sea level rise is attributed to the eastward migration of the crustal forebulge which bordered former ice margins.
