Abandoned shorelines and the late quaternary history of lake George, New South Wales

A study of the geomorphology, surficial sediments, and soils of the Lake George Basin, in particular those at its northwestern end, led to the recognition of a set of abandoned shoreline features lying at a range of altitudes up to 37 m above lake bottom. The altitudes and soils were used to establish a relative age sequence of abandoned shorelines which was related to an absolute time‐scale by radiocarbon dating.
