Sea Level Index Points

The past position of sea level over space and time can be defined by what is termed the Sea Level Index Points (SLIPs), which are characterised by the following fundamental fields: a) geographic location (latitude and longitude); b) age (traditionally determined by radiometric methods, e.g. radiocarbon or U-series dating); c) the altitude (preferably relative to a national levelling datum); and d) the vertical relationship a contemporaneous tide level.
