Abstract

Out of the Late Holocene sea-level highstand at ca. 2.7 ka, seven Late Pleistocene and Late-Middle Pleistocene palaeo-sea-levels (PSL) are today recorded along the coast of the Atlantic Atlas of Morocco: 1) as near-shore dunes (NSD) deposits, records of two MIS 2 and MIS 3 PSL near 0 m a.s.l. or just below, at 28 and ca. 40 ka; 2) records of three MIS 5a, 5c and 5e PSL between zero and + 8 m a.s.l.; 3) records of two MIS 7 and MIS 9 PSL above + 10 m a.s.l. and near + 20 m a.s.l.. All datable records are placed in their morpho-lithostratigraphic units (UMS) and discussed with regard to their location, palaeo-environmental and tectonic implications.
