		The name "Flandrian" has been applied to the current sea level rise affecting the coastal regions around the globe which began approximately 18,000-19,000 years ago (Stage 1 - beginning in latest Pleistocene time and continuing progressively through Holocene to the present).
		This rise in sea level is directly related to the melting of the Wisconsin (Stage 2) continental polar and mountain piedmont glaciers.
		During the following Flandrian transgression, sea level rise was very rapid early in the Late Pleistocene, but the rate of sea level rise has slowed drastically during the progress of the Holocene.

	Sea Level, Changes in - MSN Encarta
		Global sea level was at least 30 m below the present level about 10,000 years ago due to the large amounts of water still held on land in remnant ice sheets.
		The final melting of these ice sheets, called the Flandrian transgression, caused sea levels to rise relatively quickly until about 6,000 years ago when they began to approach modern levels and the rate of rise declined significantly.
		The Flandrian transgression caused the separation of Ireland from the mainland of Great Britain, and of Great Britain from continental Europe.

		Potential sources (including Flandrian and preFlandrian dunes, Salinas River, and offshore sands) can be discriminated on the basis of grain shape.
		Comparison of data from the beach samples and samples from the mining operations shows that most beach sand, offshore (shallow water) sands, and the mined sand are primarily (70%90%) derived from Flandrian and preFlandrian dunes.
		North of the Salinas River, the beach is dominated by fluvial sediments.

		The Flandrian rise of sea level is believed to form the last delta plain and as well form the suitable basement for a barrier formation.
		After the initiation of the barrier it grew by a longshore current and wind action leaving a big lagoon to the east of the delta, by repeated shifts of the currents, and as well wind action the barrier and the dunes turned landwards to the south and formed a series of lagoons.
		Leontiev and Nikiforov (1965) considered that the recent barrier formation in general was stimulated by the Flandrian rise of the sea level, which was also effective in the Black Sea.

		The village of Nieuwpoort proper is not located on the sea shore, but the municipality is mostly popular for its sea resort, Nieuwpoort-Bad, built from 1864 to 1893 by Baron Benjamin Crombez, owner of the lands on the sea shore.
		In the V-VIth century, coastal Belgian was flooded during the event known as the second Flandrian transgression.
		At the end of the IXth century, the main hazard was no longer the sea but the Northmen, who often landed in the mouth of river Yser (Isera Portus) in 861 and 881-885 and trashed the region.

	IAG 1999 Regional Conference Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		During the Flandrian transgression (14.000 to 7.000 years BP) the sea had invaded the former small sedimentary basin from the east and south areas, favouring the gradual deposition of sands and interbedded sandy coquinas.
		At the end of the Flandrian transgression (7.000 years BP), regressive events would have produced the Cabo Frio plain, the beach ridges and the intern marine barriers, forming a number of smalls lagoons into the last two morphologicals units.
		The lowering of the sea level, related to the regression, continuous till reaching the negative 25 meters level (in 6.500 years BP) and the sedimentary basin of the actual lagoon become exposed to a new erosion process.

		An index of biotic integrity characterizing fish populations and the ecological quality of Flandrian water bodies.
		A multimetric fish Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) was composed to assess the biotic integrity of Flandrian water bodies.
		As fish communities differ substantially between standing waters, running waters of the bream zone and running waters of the barbel zone, eight candidate metrics for each of these water types or zones were identified, representing three major classes of biological attributes.

	Popweb: Corylus avellana - Palaeoecology
		Corylus avellana was the first of the temperate deciduous forest trees to immigrate, establish itself and then become abundant in the postglacial period.
		Its sudden rise to very high pollen frequencies marks the start of the mesocratic phase of the present, Flandrian, interglacial (Birks 1986) and is the first stage in the development of dense, mixed deciduous forest.
		Similar conspicuous increases in Corylus pollen values occurred in previous interglacials but were less pronounced and occurred later in the interglacial cycle than in the Flandrian (West 1977, 1980).

	Proussakov, Nature and Man in Ancient Egypt
		According to most of the geo-physical theories, Flandrian trans-gression approached its upper level in the Fourth Millennium BC, several centuries after the culmination of the Atlantic Climatic Optimum, the warmest episode of the Holocene (with a mean global temperature 1,4°C higher than today).
		In the light of D. Stanley's lithostratigraphic explorations in the Nile Delta, in the Fifth Millennium BC, when the sea level was about 10 m lower than today, the Delta appears to have been dry and quite suitable for farming and livestock herding.
		The subsequent discoveries of tectonic, isostatic, geoidal as well as other eustatic factors revealed geographical and temporal dis-similarity of the Holocene eustasy dynamics; in particular, different shorelines showed both an increase of the post-glacial sea levels above the modern one as well as the absence of such an uprise.

		The proportions of each rock type in the soil could simply represent current erosional factors modified by (a) the different proportions of each rock in the vicinity and (b) the susceptibility of each type to erosion.
		If Flandrian deposits are the main sand reserve, there could be long-term implications for the Dunnet dune system.
		In the warm Flandrian climate which succeeded the final period of the last glaciation, melting glaciers and isostatic rebound of the continental crust caused dramatic changes in sea-levels which are still continuing at a much reduced rate today.

	Quaternary Palaeoenvironments Group (QPG) » Controls on interglacial sedimentation
		This is less true of Holocene (Flandrian; post-glacial) sequences which, often in association with archaeological investigations, have yielded important insights into sedimentation controls and timing.
		Whilst the importance of interglacial fluvial sediments cannot be overestimated for subdivision of Quaternary successions both within and beyond glaciated areas, the character of the sedimentary record at any one locality is markedly discontinuous, and shows high lateral facies variability.
		Since the present interglacial period (Holocene or Flandrian) is apparently similar in most respects to those of at least the last 0.75 My, it is reasonable to seek Pleistocene analogues in Holocene floodplain sequences.

		Comparable zonation schemes for additional events are not included, since these periods have yet to be formally-defined, although they would be expected to follow a similar pattern.
		In the present interglacial the positioning of the boundaries is based on the same criteria as for the preceding interglacials, i.e.

		Nearly half the present United States continental shelf was then a coastal plain with vegetation ranging in nature from subarctic tundra to coniferous woodland.
		A fluctuating transgression ("Flandrian" stage) followed, accompanied by rising temperatures.
		Reaching the present coastline about 6 ka, the transgressing seas drowned river valleys, creating estuaries and dendritic embayments.

		The paleo-cliffs mark the maximum advance of the Flandrian transgression in the area.
		The coastal relief, which suggests tectonic uplift, shows well-defined structural controls according to vertical fracturing N60ºE and N30ºW, and a highly dissected terrace, which is 80 m above present sea level (Correa 1996, Robertson 1997).

		It confirms that the Fawley section is representative of the Holocene (Flandrian) deposits of the southeastern side of Southampton Water.
		Barton and Roche, (1984) found the peat developed on what appears to be a Flandrian beach and concluded that the peat represents a slight regression of sea-level or at least a still-stand as suggested by Devoy (1982).
		This peat bed is not well-developed at the excavations but there may widespread occurrence of a thin Flandrian soil on top of the Pleistocene gravel.

	Slapton, Devon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Behind the beach is Slapton Ley, a nature reserve and good example of serial or ecological succession — the process whereby open water becomes reed bed and eventually, as silt and leaf litter builds up, woodland.
		The beach itself is a good example of a bar: the material that makes up the beach was pushed up by the rising sea levels during the Flandrian transgression after the last glacial period (from 10000 to 5000 years ago).
		Beaches formed like this are reworked by coastal processes now but are not supplied by enough material to recreate them, should material be removed.

		Sediments accumulating or processes operating at present should be referred to as ‘modern’ or by similar synonyms.
		The term Flandrian, derived from marine transgression sediments on the Flanders coast of Belgium (Heinzelin and Tavernier, 1957), has often been used as a synonym for Holocene.
		It has been adopted by authors who consider that the last 10 000 years should have the same stage-status as previous interglacial events and thus be included in the Pleistocene.

	Chesil Beach, Dorset - Geology Field Trip Guide
		It seems reasonable to conclude that the western side of Portland and the adjacent Chesil Beach is retreating at a rate of round about 15cm per annum or 150m in 1000 years.
		The implication of this is that at the present rate of recession the Chesil Beach and the west cliffs of Portland would only have been 1.5 km offshore from the present coastline at the beginning of the Flandrian Transgression, 10,000 years ago.
		This, however, was progressively flooded from about 10,000 year BP (before the present), and the evolution of the beach is related to this flooding, the Flandrian Transgression (see notes on sea-level below).

		The sea has risen steadily in the Holocene epoch, since the end of the last ice age.
		This rise is called Flandrian, and gave the British seacoast its intricate drowned topography.
