DESCRIPTION: The spatio-temporal relative sea level curve (RSL) was developed using the software SealEveL EquatioN solver - version 4 (SELEN4; https://zenodo.org/record/3520451) (Spada et al. 2019), the global ice sheet reconstruction (ICE-5G (VM2); https://pmip2.lsce.ipsl.fr/design/ice5g/) (Peltier 2004) and DEMSRE3a (https://zenodo.org/record/1637816). MAPPED VALUES: Relative sea level stand below present in meter. SPATIAL RESOLUTION: The spatial resolution of the dataset is 0.2 degrees (WGS84). TEMPORAL RESOLUTION: Relative sea level for every 500 years from 0 BP to 26000 BP. The dataset is provided in two formats: 1. TILED IN ASCII (RSL_tiles.zip): 53 tiles of 10x10 degrees per folder each representing the relative sea level for a 500 yr time period. Directory naming: structure: //RSL..asc example: 10/010-020/RSL.005.asc description: Tile with relative sea level from 0 to 10 degrees latitude, and 10 to 20 degrees longitude, per 500 yr BP. 2. MOSAIC IN TIF (RSL_mosaic.zip): 53 global maps each presenting the relative sea level for a 500 yr time period. File naming: structure: RSL.tif example: RSL005.tif description: Relative sea level map per 500 yr BP
