Map of Pacific study locations showing Uranium-series ages
Detailed Description
Length of the last interglacial—Pacific. Uranium series ages on the west coast give us the best estimate as 123,000 to 114,000 years. A high sea level that lasted at least 9,000 years.

Geologic Records of High Sea Levels
This project studies past high sea levels on coastlines that preserve fossil coral reefs or marine terraces. We ascertain the magnitudes of sea-level high stands by field mapping, stratigraphic measurements, and precise elevation measurements. Geochronology is accomplished by radiocarbon dating of mollusks (for Holocene-to-last-glacial deposits), uranium-series dating of corals (for high-sea...
