Abstract
Developing databases of past sea-level and ice-sheet indicators
Highlights
PALSEA2 is the second phase of work to reduce the uncertainty around past ice-sheet and sea-level variability that began with the PALSEA (PALeo constraints on SEA level rise) working group co-sponsored by PAGES and INQUA
The contribution of region-specific databases to our current understanding of the Antarctic, British and Irish, and Greenland ice sheets were explored by Peter Clark, Sarah Bradley and Anders Carlson (Carlson et al 2014; Kuchar et al 2012; Lecavalier et al 2014)
Bridging the gap between geological and instrumental records, the Late Holocene is a prime target for reconstructing regional patterns of sea level change, which provide constraints on volume and extent of the different ice sheets at the Last Glacial Maximum through knowledge of glacial isostatic adjustment
Summary
PALSEA2 is the second phase of work to reduce the uncertainty around past ice-sheet and sea-level variability that began with the PALSEA (PALeo constraints on SEA level rise) working group co-sponsored by PAGES and INQUA. Complementary approaches to structuring databases were presented. André Düsterhus outlined a thematic structure comprising the value, measures of uncertainty, associated expert knowledge, and commentary, whilst Marc Hijma presented an existing and highly detailed protocol for a post glacial database of sea level indicators (Hijma et al 2015).
