Raised beach deposits and the distribution ofstructural lineaments on Macquarie Island
1984
The distribution of previously-unmapped raised beaches on Macquarie Island makes it
difficult to accept earlier interpretations of landform evolution. These raised beaches
occur up to 270 m ASL, and in places previously thought to have been glaciated. The elevation
of the beaches and the distribution and shape of many of the island's plateau
lakes and structural lineaments would appear to be consistent with a history in which
rapid uplift associated with. block-faulting and other tectonic factors played a much more
important role in landform evolution than has been recognised in the past.
