| description | <p>This paper presents version 1.0 of the World Atlas of
Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS), a global database of sea-level proxies
and samples dated to marine isotope stage 5 (<span class="inline-formula">∼</span> 80 to 130 ka).
The database includes a series of datasets compiled in the framework of a
special issue published in this journal (<span class="uri">https://essd.copernicus.org/articles/special_issue1055.html</span>, last access: 15 December 2022). This paper collates the individual contributions (archived
in a Zenodo community at <span class="uri">https://zenodo.org/communities/walis_database/</span>, last access: 15 December 2022) into an
open-access, standalone database (Rovere et al., 2022,
<span class="uri">https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.7348242</span>). The release of WALIS 1.0 includes
complete documentation and scripts to download, analyze, and visualize the
data (<span class="uri">https://alerovere.github.io/WALIS/</span>, last access: 15 December 2022). The database
contains 4545 sea-level proxies (e.g., marine terraces or fossil beach
deposits), 4110 dated samples (e.g., corals dated with U-series), and 280
other time constraints (e.g., biostratigraphic constraints or tephra
layers) interconnected with several tables containing accessory data and
metadata. By creating a centralized database of sea-level proxy data for the
Last Interglacial, the WALIS database will be a valuable resource to the
broader paleoclimate community to facilitate data–model integration and
intercomparisons, assessments of sea-level reconstructions between different
studies and different regions, as well as comparisons between past sea-level
history and other paleoclimate proxy data.</p> |
