Learning from other communities: Towards more robust varve chronologies

PAGES news • Vol 19 • No 2 • July 2011 Figure 1: Fossil coral reefs, here from Barbados, are an important archive for reconstructing paleo sea level. Using fossil corals at different localities to reconstruct the deglacial sea-level rise during Termination I are key for determining melt water pulse events and the fingerprinting of sources of the ice-sheet melting (e.g., Antarctica vs. Northern Hemisphere). Table 1: 3 PALSEA Workshop statements. These statements form the core framework for the continuing effort of the PALSEA workgroup.
