             abstract = "The sedimentary deposits of the deltaic plain of the Doce and 
                         Barra Seca rivers, Southeastern Brazil,were studied by facies 
                         analysis, pollen records, \δ13C, C/N analysis and AMS 
                         14C-dating. Today, this deltaic plain is dominated by beach ridges 
                         and sandy terraces occupied by arboreal and herbaceous vegetation. 
                         Between ~47,500 and ~29,400 cal yr B.P., a deltaic system was 
                         developed in response mainly to eustatic sea-level fall. Although 
                         the studied stratigraphic succession is compatible with the trend 
                         of global sea-level fall, the earlier sea-level suggested by the 
                         topographic position of these deltaic deposits was above the one 
                         expected during the MIS3 stage. A tectonic uplift likely occurred 
                         during the late Quaternary and raised these deposits. The 
                         post-glacial sea-level rise caused a marine incursion with 
                         invasion of embayments and broad valleys, and it favored the 
                         evolution of an estuary with wide tidal mud flats occupied by 
                         mangroves between ~7400 and ~5100 cal yr B.P. The high river sand 
                         supply and/or the relative sea-level fall in the late Holocene led 
                         to seaward and downward translation of the shoreline during 
                         normal/forced regression, producing progradational deposits with 
                         shrinkage of mangrove stands and expansion of marshes colonized by 
                         herbaceous vegetation. Therefore, the stratigraphic architecture 
                         and evolution of the Doce River deltaic plain suggest that fluvial 
                         sediment supply and relative sealevel fluctuations related to 
                         Quaternary global climatic changes and local tectonism exerted 
                         major controls on sedimentation through the variation of 
                         accommodation space and base-level changes.",
