Short summary

The elevations of geological indicators of past sea level inform paleoclimate reconstructions of interglacial intervals, including changes in ice volume and equivalent sea level rise and fall. In this review article, we summarize previously reported elevations and chronologies of a global set of ~80 000- and ~100 000-year-old interglacial shorelines and compile these in the open-source World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS) database for further paleoclimate analysis.
