This meeting is led by the PAGES/IMAGES PALSEA (Paleo constraints on sea level rise) Working Group.
The primary goal of the meeting is to provide a synthesis of the existing sea level data for past interglacials. Focus will be on the challenges of U-series dating older corals, which have been organized into three broad themes:
1) Analytical issues
2) Diagenetic issues
3) Data Compilation
Sessions will focus on exchange of information, discussion, defining points of disagreement, and consensus building.
