| Summary: | <p>Marine Isotope Stage 5e (MIS 5e; the Last Interglacial, 125 ka) represents a
process analog for a warmer world. Analysis of sea-level proxies formed in
this period helps in constraining both regional and global drivers of
sea-level change. In Southeast Asia, several studies have reported elevation
and age information on MIS 5e sea-level proxies, such as fossil coral reef
terraces or tidal notches, but a standardized database of such data was
hitherto missing. In this paper, we produced such a sea-level database using
the framework of the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS;
<span class="uri">https://warmcoasts.eu/world-atlas.html</span>). Overall, we screened
and reviewed 14 studies on Last Interglacial sea-level indicators in
Southeast Asia, from which we report 43 proxies (42 coral reef terraces and
1 tidal notch) that were correlated to 134 dated samples. Five data
points date to MIS 5a (80 ka), six data points are MIS 5c (100 ka), and the
rest are dated to MIS 5e. The database compiled in this study is available
