Sea Level Index Points - Points
Primary and Secondary Sea Level Index Points. Where information is available on the genesis of the index point it is given. Chronological information is presented as calendar age BP. Confidence is defined as follows: 1. High: Sampled feature with good age and palaeoenvironmental control. 2. Sampled feature with poor or none age and palaeoenvironmental control. 3. Constructed by remote sensing data only, 4. Low: Reasonable without any direct evidence

Data Quality
SLIPs are often established at lithostratigraphic contacts between terrestrial and marine sediments with supporting microfossil data (e.g. pollen, foraminifera, diatoms). The SLIPs can be subdivided into ‘Primary’ SLIPs and ‘Secondary’ SLIPs. While ‘Primary’ SLIPs possess accurate information for all the required fields, ‘Secondary’ SLIPs offer lower quality information, derived from dated sea-level indicators for which one or more of the core variables is unquantified or associated with significant uncertainty.
Constraints
The condition is only valid for the submerged landscapes shown on the EMODnet portal. The conditions for the real data held by the partners are probably different. See INSPIRE Directive for more details.
