Gravitational compaction and consolidation factors are briefly reviewed and discussed in relation to subsidence and estimating sea level. Most coastal Holocene regions show uneven subsidence, this being controlled by variability in the thickness, lithofacies and diagenetic and burial history of the successions. Tectonism is also influential. Broad quantification of compaction and subsidence is possible in uniform successions but only over limited geographical areas.
