Figure 2: Simplified schema of the deglacial sea level database giving an overview of data acquisition and processing.

From: A database of biological and geomorphological sea-level markers from the Last Glacial Maximum to present

The numbered boxes are the four essential components needed to reconstruct former sea levels: (1) location; (2) elevation; (3) age and; (4) sample information and other contextual information (including how the sample dated relates to sea level at the time of formation). Within each of these boxes we list the primary information recorded. Grey boxes indicate additional processing of data from original publications and new outputs (also included in the database, Data Citation 1).
