SEAMIS

SEAMIS compiles a curated database of 546 site-specific relative sea-level indicators from 31 studies across Southeast Asia (including the Maldives, India, and Sri Lanka) to support reconstruction and analysis of Holocene sea-level change.

Key Features:

• Data Aggregation: Compiles 546 relative sea-level indicators from 31 published studies covering Southeast Asia, including the Maldives, India, and Sri Lanka.
• Quality Control: Provides quality-controlled, site-specific relative sea-level data for scientific analysis.
• Tectonic Corrections: Includes tectonically corrected sea-level data where applicable.
• Model Comparison: Facilitates direct comparison of site-specific observations with ICE-5G glacial isostatic adjustment model predictions.

Scientific Applications:

• Holocene sea-level reconstruction: Enables reconstruction of Holocene relative sea-level changes in Southeast Asia using site-specific indicators.
• Glacial isostatic adjustment model evaluation: Supports evaluation of ICE-5G glacial isostatic adjustment model predictions against empirical data.
• Tectonic and regional process assessment: Helps interpret the influence of local geological and tectonic processes on relative sea-level records.
• Paleoclimate and future sea-level studies: Provides data for paleoclimatologists and geoscientists to inform models projecting future sea-level scenarios.

Methodology:

SEAMIS relative sea-level data are compared with ICE-5G glacial isostatic adjustment model predictions, incorporating site-specific tectonic corrections where applicable.
