|a The timing of sea-level change provides important constraints on the mechanisms driving Earth’s
climate between glacial and interglacial states. Fossil corals constrain the timing of past sea level
by their suitability for dating and their growth position close to sea level. The coral-derived age for
the last deglaciation is consistent with climate change forced by Northern Hemisphere summer
insolation (NHI), but the timing of the penultimate deglaciation is more controversial. We found, by
means of uranium/thorium dating of fossil corals, that sea level during the penultimate deglaciation
had risen to ~85 meters below the present sea level by 137,000 years ago, and that it fluctuated
on a millennial time scale during deglaciation. This indicates that the penultimate deglaciation
occurred earlier with respect to NHI than the last deglacial, beginning when NHI was at a minimum. |
