Fig. 3: Quantitative reconstruction of Relative Sea Level (RSL) position and rates of RSL changes during the main phase of deglaciation.
From: Sea level since the Last Glacial Maximum from the Atlantic coast of Africa
a, c, e RSL data and EIV-IGP model predictions in Senegal (region 7), northern Gulf of Guinea (region 9) and Congo (region 11). Green dots indicate region locations. Black boxes are basal sea-level index points (SLIPs). Pink boxes are intercalated SLIPs. Limiting points are plotted as green (terrestrial) or blue (marine) triangles with horizontal lines. Dimensions of boxes and lines for each point based on 2σ elevation and age uncertainties. The blue solid line and shaded envelope denote the EIV-IGP model mean and the ±1σ uncertainty. b, d, f Statistical reconstruction of the rates of RSL change for Senegal (region 7), northern Gulf of Guinea (region 9) and Congo (region 11). The pink solid line and shaded envelope denote the Barbados record EIV-IGP model mean and the ±1σ uncertainty. MWP1b is the Meltwater Pulse 1b. The grey bands indicate the temporal extent of the North Atlantic Freshwater input (NAFI) and of the 8.2 ka cooling event27,32. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
