Database of biological and geomorphological sea-level markers from the Last Glacial Maximum to the present (Hibbet et al., 2018, Scientific Data)
We compile sea-levels data from 194 studies from 40 locations using different biological and geomorphological archives (e.g., corals, mangroves, sediment cores) that have been radiometrically dated using either radiocarbon, or U-series techniques (or both) into a single, internally consistent databa...
