Records of prehistoric hurricanes on the South Carolina coast based on micropaleontological and sedimentological evidence, with comparison to other Atlantic Coast records
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used experience gained by looking at storm traces detected as layers of offshore foraminifera intercalated with marsh sediments from a known storm in the area (Hugo, which occurred in 1989) to detect storm horizons from the sediments that have been accumulating in Singleton Swash since 5700 yr B.P.

Hurricane records on the South Carolina coast: Can they be detected in the sediment record?☆
TL;DR: More than 40 short cores were collected from 10 localities in the Myrtle Beach to McClellandville coastline of South Carolina as mentioned in this paper and were analyzed for percentage organic carbon, visual observations, X-rays, and microfossils.

TL;DR: In this paper, cores from three lakes in Atlantic Canada and analyzed for arcellaceans and pollen were taken from three different lakes, two in western Newfoundland and one in eastern Nova Scotia, and found that the three lakes contain similar late glacial (13-10 ka), early Holocene (10-8 ka), mid-Holocene (8-4 ka), and late Holocene(4-0 ka) assemblages.

Relationship of Foraminifera and thecamoebian distributions to sediments contaminated by pulp mill effluent: Saguenay Fiord, Quebec, Canada
TL;DR: Gravity cores and grab samples collected in the Saguenay Fiord between 1976 and 1988 contain the record of a 20th century benthic marine environment contaminated primarily by organic matter discharges from several local pulp and paper mills.

TL;DR: In this paper, brackish marsh facies with calibrated radiocarbon ages of 7.7 to 7.8 ka have been recovered from depths of −8.5 to −9 m in a core from the ancestral Colorado River delta, and are interpreted to represent a sea-level pinning point.
