Image Caption: Galveston Bay and Bolivar Peninsula, Texas. Low contrast picture, but one can still see a range of riverine and coastal features indicative of global climate and sea level change. These include (a) large meander scars in Trinity Valley (e.g. Lake Anahuac), carved during the last ice age under different discharge regimes, and (b) cross-cutting beach ridges of Bolivar Peninsula, with the oldest one representing a possible former sea level highstand just a few thousand years ago.
