文摘

Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) data from the Caribbean is compiled from sedimentary, geomorphic, and coral indicators. RSL data were corrected for local-scale processes of sediment compaction and tidal range change. A spatio-temporal statistical model estimates the position and rates of RSL change. Rates were 7–11 m/ka from 8–12 ka from meltwater input and slowed to <2 m/ka after Laurentide deglaciation at 7 ka. Only Suriname and Guyana exhibited higher RSL than present (82% probability), reaching a maximum height of ∼1 m at 5.2 ka.
