Abstract

Holocene relative sea-level data for the East Frisian barrier coast, NW Germany, southern North Sea – CORRIGENDUM

Highlights

By importing the western Netherlands curve in the age-depth diagram of the Langeoog curve, the western Netherlands curve was wrongly stretched to 2000 cal BP instead of 3000 cal BP, which results in an incorrect overlap of the error envelopes (Fig. 1A in this corrigendum)
When plotting the western Netherlands curve in correct position in the Langeoog age-depth diagram (Fig. 1B of this corrigendum), the two curves show no overlapping of the 2 sigma error envelopes since about 6000 cal BP, only around 3500 cal BP there is a beginning overlap of the error envelopes
It is correct that the Langeoog curve plots upwards of the Wangerooge curve and that the offset between the western Netherlands curve and Wangerooge with values of 1.5–3 m is higher than the offset between the western Netherlands curve and the Langeoog curve with values of 0.8–1.6 m (Fig. 2), in the original publication the discrepancies between the western Netherlands and the Langeoog curve were assumed to be smaller due to the wrong plotting

Summary

Introduction

When plotting the western Netherlands curve in correct position in the Langeoog age-depth diagram (Fig. 1B of this corrigendum), the two curves show no overlapping of the 2 sigma error envelopes since about 6000 cal BP, only around 3500 cal BP there is a beginning overlap of the error envelopes.
