Figure 4. Correlation of the terrace sequence at site 10 (see figure 5a) to the late Quaternary global sea level curve of Lambeck and Chappell (2001) modified to correlate with the Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) boundaries of Lisiecki and Raymo (2005). The terrace sequence is anchored to the sea level high stand that occurred during MIS 3.3 by a calibrated radiocarbon age from the lowest terrace in the sequence at 27 m above modern sea level, shown as black dashed line. Higher older terraces were assigned ages correlating to sea level high stands occurring at MIS 5.1, 5.2, 5.4, and 5.5, shown as dashed blue lines. The labels t1 – t5 refer to the youngest to oldest terraces respectively.
