|a The last interglacial period, Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 5e, was
characterized by global mean surface temperatures that were
at least 2 !C warmer than present1. Mean sea level stood 4–6m
higher than modern sea level2–13, with an important contribution
from a reduction of the Greenland ice sheet1,14. Although some
fossil reef data indicate sea-level fluctuations of up to 10m
around the mean3–9,11, so far it has not been possible to constrain
the duration and rates of change of these shorter-termvariations.
Here, we use a combination of a continuous high-resolution sealevel
record, based on the stable oxygen isotopes of planktonic
foraminifera from the central Red Sea15–18, and age constraints
from coral data to estimate rates of sea-level change during
MIS-5e.We find average rates of sea-level rise of 1.6mper century.
As global mean temperatures during MIS-5e were comparable
to projections for future climate change under the influence
of anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions19,20, these observed
rates of sea-level change inform the ongoing debate about high
versus low rates of sea-level rise in the coming century21,22. |
