PLIOMAX: Pliocene maximum sea level project

Accurate estimates of mid-Pliocene sea levels are necessary if we are to better constrain Greenland and Antarctic ice sheet stability in a warmer world. The mid-Pliocene climate optimum (3.3-2.9 Ma) provides both a natural analog and a testing ground for General Circulation Models (GCMs) used for pr...
