| Abstract: | An application of trend surface analysis is presented within a space-time framework to predict the rates of sea-level rise for the southern New England coastal region since 10,000 years B.P. Based on the predicted second order trend surface, 65% of the variance is explained and is significant at the 0.01 level. The results of the analysis also indicate those local areas that have experienced the largest amount of spatial and temporal variation from the regional mean rate of rise since 10,000 years B.P. |
