- Inferred age and elevation of past RSLs based on indicators observed at Misery Point
- U1-4 units 1–4, LC lower flank-margin cave, UC upper flank-margin cave, CT coral terrace, MIS marine isotope stage, RSL1 observed elevation of past RSL indicators; uncertainty is ± 0.2 m. RSL2 relative elevation of past sea levels based on the elevation of RSL1, and considering the minimal paleo-depth of deposition and the amount of carbonate possibly removed by karstic denudation. In the case of caves, RSL2 = RSL1
