	note = {Alsea Bay sediments show repeated "episodic events of coastal submergence in late Holocene time," characterized by "rapid and persistant subsidence followed by gradual deposition of suspended material and associated marsh emergence."  The explanation that fits this pattern is subsidence associated with major earthquakes. By comparing uplift and subsidence in Alsea with other Oregon marshes, the authors estimate the location of an upper-plate flexure line on the central Oregon coast. The authors estimate the interval between seismic events is between 320 and 410 years.  Maps, charts, bw photographs.Five folded plates accompany the text of v.1. },
