Extended Data Fig. 6

The modern data are from Admiralty Tide Tables, older data from paleotidal models. In the Mississippi and Rhine-Meuse deltas, the paleo-indicative range (IR) of samples older than 8 ka was calculated by increasing the present-day IR by a factor of 1.5. In the case of the Yangtze Delta and Malay Peninsula (including Singapore), for RSL samples older than 8 ka, we have increased the present-day IR by a factor of 1.5 to calculate the paleo-IR and by a factor of 1.1 for samples younger than 8 ka.
