Data

Here, we present high-quality data sources and models that provide invaluable insights into the intricate dynamics of sea level and ice sheet interaction. Our data page has been organized into relevant categories for easy navigation:

  • Bathymetry Data & Maps

  • Ice Sheet Reconstruction Data & Maps

  • Climate Cycle - Glacial-Interglacial

  • Paleoclimatology & Paleoceanography

We strive to maintain transparency and proper attribution; therefore, all our listed data sources include necessary citations, contributing to the integrity and reproducibility of scientific research.
