This study benefited from discussions within the CVAS working group, a working group of the Past Global Changes (PAGES) project. 

This study is a contribution to the PALEOLINK project (http://pastglobalchanges.org/science/wg/2k-network/projects/paleolink/intro, last access: 6 December 2021) within the PAGES 2k Network; it is also a contribution to the PalMod and PACMEDY projects funded by the BMBF.

This paper benefited from discussion facilitated by the ‘Volcanic Impacts on Climate and Society’ (VICS) Working Group of PAGES, funded by the Swiss Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
 

We gratefully acknowledge General Research Fund project funded by the Research Grants Council of Hong Kong SAR (ref. no. 18607521), “Climate Reconstruction and Impacts from the Archives of Societies” Working Group of Past Global Changes (PAGES CRIAS), Individual Research Scheme, Dean’s Research Fund from Education University of Hong Kong (Grant No. FLASS/DRF/IRS-3), and Research Cluster Fund from Education University of Hong Kong (Grant No. RG79/2019–2020R).

This study includes data compiled by SISAL (Speleothem Isotopes Synthesis and Analysis), a working group of the Past Global Changes (PAGES) project. PAGES received support from the Swiss Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The project is in part inspired by discussions at the SISAL 4th workshop: Exploiting 30 the SISALv2 database for evaluating climate processes, Xi’an, China, 14-18 October 2019. Nils Weitzel, Elisa Ziegler, Beatrice Ellerhoff, Qiong Zhang, Nikita Kaushal, Natasha Sekhon, Valdir Felipe Novello, Jon Baker, Ny Riavo Voarintsoa and Yuval Burstyn for helpful advice, comments and discussion on text and figures.

This project was facilitated by the activities of the PAGES QUIGS working group. 

PALSEA is a PAGES and INQUA working group focused on using past changes in sea level and Earth’s cryosphere to constrain future sea-level rise in response to climate change.

Using an unprecedented data set of almost 3,000 discrete bulk density and organic-matter measurements, the authors examine organic-rich facies from coastal Louisiana to quantify the thickness lost to compaction and investigate whether sediments are able to maintain sufficient volume for the associated wetlands to keep pace with RSLR. They find that organic content as well as overburden thickness and density (which together determine effective stress) strongly control sediment compaction.

This paper also benefitted from discussion at events of the Past Global Changes (PAGES) working group ‘Volcanic Impacts on Climate and Society’ (VICS).
