TL;DR: The most extensively accreted part of the beach-ridge sequence of the Usumacinta-Grijalva delta borders a 300 km long section of the southern Gulf of Mexico coast with around 500 beach ridges formed in the last 6500 years as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present two new palaeo-precipitation records for the central Maya lowlands, spanning the Pre-Classic period (1800-BCE-250 CE), a key epoch in the development of the ancient Maya civilisation.

Kimberley Hagemans,Kees Nooren,Tjalling de Haas,Mario Córdova,Rick Hennekam,Martin C.A. Stekelenburg,Donald T. Rodbell,Hans Middelkoop,Timme H. Donders +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report new high-resolution meteorological data, hydrogeomorphic mapping of the catchment and geochemistry of the lake sediments, and show that the fine clastic layers are deposited from alluvial activity in a catchment related to intensive rainfall events originating from the Pacific.

Soil development on a beach ridge chronosequence in the Gulf of Mexico coastal plain and its relation to the ancient land use
TL;DR: In this article, a soil chronosequence study is presented in a beach ridge system at the mouth of the Usumacinta and Grijalva Rivers, Mexico, formed since a strong decrease in the rate of sea level rise some 6000 years ago.
