Short summary
In this study, we compute glacial-interglacial sea-level changes across the mid-Pliocene Warm Period (MPWP; 3.264 – 3.025 Ma) produced from ice mass loss of different ice sheets. Our results quantify the relationship between local and global mean sea-level (GMSL) change and highlight the level of consistency in this mapping across different ice melt scenarios. These predictions can help to guide site selection in any effort to constrain the sources and magnitude of MPWP GMSL change.

A new global marine gravity model, SDUST2022GRA, is recovered from radar and laser altimeter data. The accuracy of SDUST2022GRA is 4.43 mGal on a global scale, which is at least 0.22 mGal better than that of other models. The spatial resolution of SDUST2022GRA is approximately 20 km in a certain region, slightly superior to other models. These assessments suggest that SDUST2022GRA is a reliable global marine gravity anomaly model.

Improved mapping of surficial seabed sediment organic carbon is vital for best-practice marine management. Here, using systematic data review, data unification process and machine learning techniques, the first national predictive maps were produced for Canada at 200 m resolution. We show fine-scale spatial variation of organic carbon across the continental margin and estimate the total standing stock in the top 30 cm of the sediment to be 10.9 Gt.

Sandy beaches, shaped by tides, waves, and winds, constantly change. Studying these changes is crucial for coastal management, but obtaining detailed shoreline data is difficult and costly. Our paper introduces a unique dataset of high-resolution shorelines from five Spanish beaches collected through the CoastSnap citizen-science program. With 1721 shorelines, our dataset provides valuable information for coastal studies.

MOSAIC is a database of global organic carbon in marine sediments. This new version holds more than 21 000 sediment cores and includes new variables to interpret organic carbon distribution, such as sedimentological parameters and biomarker signatures. MOSAIC also stores data from specific sediment and molecular fractions to better understand organic carbon degradation and ageing. This database is continuously expanding, and version control will allow reproducible research outputs.

Much effort is made to project monsoon changes by reconstructing the past. The stable oxygen isotopic ratio of marine calcareous organisms is frequently used to reconstruct past monsoons. Here, we use the published and new stable oxygen isotopic data to demonstrate a diagenetic effect and a strong salinity influence on the oxygen isotopic ratio of foraminifera in the northern Indian Ocean. We also provide updated calibration equations to deduce monsoons from the oxygen isotopic ratio.

Along the world's coastlines, we find sandy beaches that are constantly reshaped by ocean waves and tides. The way the incoming waves interact with the sandy beach is dictated by the slope of the beach face. Yet, despite their importance in coastal sciences, beach-face slope data remain unavailable along most coastlines. Here we use satellite remote sensing to present a new dataset of beach-face slopes for the Australian continent, covering 13 200 km of sandy coast.

This work is part of the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS), whose aim is to construct a database of Last Interglacial (LIG) relative sea-level (RSL) indicators from across the globe. This paper reviews the LIG sea-level constraints from the Korean Peninsula entered into the online WALIS database. This paper including the dataset will contribute to reconstructing global LIG sea-level changes and regional LIG RSL in the Korean Peninsula.

The Last Interglacial (LIG) is a warm period characterized by a higher-than-present sea level. For this reason, scientists use it as an analog for future climatic conditions. In this paper, we use the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines database to standardize LIG sea-level data along the coasts of the western Atlantic and mainland Caribbean, identifying 55 unique sea-level indicators.

Marine Isotope Stage 5e (MIS 5e; the Last Interglacial, 125 ka) represents a period in the Earth’s geologic history when sea level was higher than present. In this paper, a standardized database was produced after screening and reviewing LIG sea-level data from published papers in Southeast Asia. We identified 43 unique sea-level indicators (42 from coral reef terraces and 1 from a tidal notch) and compiled the data in the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS).

Studies of ancient sea level and coastlines help scientists understand how coasts will respond to future sea-level rise. This work standardized the published records of sea level around New Zealand correlated with sea-level peaks within the Last Interglacial (~128 000–73 000 years ago) using the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS) database. New Zealand has the potential to provide an important sea-level record with more detailed descriptions and improved age constraint.

This study is part of a larger community effort to catalogue the elevation of sea levels approximately 120 000 years ago – a time period when global temperatures were generally warmer than they are today. For this specific study I summarized the work of other scientists who had determined the age and elevations of ancient shorelines and coral reefs from across the Gulf of Mexico and Yucatán Peninsula.

A new digital map of the sediment types covering the bottom of the ocean has been created. Direct observations of the seafloor sediments are few and far apart. Therefore, machine learning was used to fill those gaps between observations. This was possible because known relationships between sediment types and the environment in which they form (e.g. water depth, temperature, and salt content) could be exploited. The results are expected to provide important information for marine research.

To protect the Dutch coastal zone, sand is nourished and disposed at strategic locations. Simple questions like where, how, how much and when to nourish the sand are not straightforward to answer. This is especially the case around the Wadden Sea islands where sediment transport pathways are complicated. Therefore, a large-scale field campaign has been carried out on the seaward side of Ameland Inlet. Sediment transport, hydrodynamics, morphology and fauna in the bed were measured.

This dataset provides the spatial distribution of nearshore slopes at a resolution of 1 km along the global coastline. The calculation was based on available global topo-bathymetric datasets and ocean wave reanalysis. The calculated slopes show skill in capturing the spatial variability of the nearshore slopes when compared against local observations. The importance of this variability is presented with a global coastal retreat assessment for an arbitrary sea level rise scenario.

The expected sea level rise by the year 2100 will determine an adaptation of the whole coastal system and the land retreat of the shoreline. Future scenarios coupled with the improvement of mining technologies will favour increased exploitation of sand deposits for nourishment. This work summarises a large data set of geophysical and sedimentological data that maps the spatial features of submerged sand deposits and is a useful tool in future climate change scenarios.

Following the last glacial period the sea level started rising rapidly. The sea started entering the Gulf of Trieste approximately 10000 years ago and since then marine Holocene sediment has been depositing. We wanted to understand how thick this sediment is, so we used modern scientific equipment which lets us determine the depth of the seafloor and the sediment below. The sediment is thickest in the SE part of the gulf (approx. 5 m). In the other parts it is very thin, except near the coast.

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.
The elevations of geological indicators of past sea level inform paleoclimate reconstructions of...
