Mangrove Peat Radiocarbon Ages From Snipe and Swan Key, FL
September 8, 2022
In 2016, researchers collected cores of mangrove peat from two islands in the Florida Keys: Snipe Key (24.679 degrees N, 81.653 degrees W) and Swan Key (25.349 degrees N, 80.251 degrees W) (Fig. 1). This data release contains the radiocarbon ages and associated data for peat samples analyzed throughout the two cores. These data were used by Khan and others (2022) to reconstruct the millennial-scale sea level variability of the two locations.

Relative sea-level change in South Florida during the past ~5000 years
A paucity of detailed relative sea-level (RSL) reconstructions from low latitudes hinders efforts to understand the global, regional, and local processes that cause RSL change. We reconstruct RSL change during the past ~5 ka using cores of mangrove peat at two sites (Snipe Key and Swan Key) in the Florida Keys. Remote sensing and field surveys established the relationship between peat-forming mang
