Map of Last Interglacial corals and relative sea level at 125 ka. Locations of coral fossils dated to the LIG are shown in yellow, and the Bahamas and western Australia are indicated with red boxes (a). Insets show relative sea level at 125 ka in the Bahamas (b) and western Australia (c) predicted using a GIA simulation with the GMSL history shown in (d). In the Bahamas (b), the site at Hole in the Wall, Abaco Island is starred. All sites in the Bahamas are labelled (Abaco Island, AB; San Salvador Island, SS; Great Inagua Island, GI), as well as 1 site in western Australia (Houtman Abrolhos Islands, HA). The GMSL curve (d) has a highstand of +5 m from 125 to 120 ka, and 125 ka is marked with a dashed vertical black line. GMSL is interpolated using a piecewise cubic polynomial between +5 m at 120 ka, −40 m at 110 ka (MIS 5d), −20 m at 100 ka (MIS 5c), −40 m at 90 ka (MIS 5b), −20 m at 80 ka (MIS 5a). Points of interpolation (MIS 5a–d) are indicated with coloured circles, and indicated on the x-axis. After 70 ka, GMSL adopts the deglacial history associated with ICE-5 G (Peltier 2004).
