Excerpt

In coastal research, the terms “geochronology” or “geochronostratigraphy are used to determine timescales for coastal processes and coastal evolution utilizing relative stratigraphic techniques (morpho-, pedo-, bio-, lithostratigraphy) and absolute dating methods. Relative and absolute temporal scales and dating methods complement each other. …
