Geology of Bonaire and location of study sites. (a) Geological map of the island of Bonaire (modified from Koomen et al.36). (b) Location of the sites, where modern and palaeo notches were measured (S1–S6). Elevations indicate the base of the palaeo notch (red point in Fig. 2a,b). The background map represents the high-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM, using the TanDEM-X missions) for this area. The orange line indicates the inner margin of the MIS 5e terrace shown in the cross-section of Fig. 2a (The maps have been created with the software ESRI ArcMap 10.4.1 [http://www.arcgis.com], using data from the DCBD online database [http://www.dcbd.nl/document/geological-map-bonaire] and the TanDEM-X missions).
