Reconstruction of Middle to Late Quaternary sea level using submerged speleothems from the northeastern Yucatán Peninsula

Abstract: We examined 14 subaerially deposited speleothems retrieved from submerged caves in the northeastern Yucatán Peninsula (Mexico). These speleothems grew during the Middle to Late Quaternary and were dated by 230Th‐U techniques to provide upper depth limits for past sea levels. We report the first relative sea‐level limits for Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 11 and 6, and present new evidence for sea‐level oscillations during MIS 5 and early MIS 1. For the latter periods, the origin of growth interruptions is evaluat… Show more

“…Under these premises, Hells Bells formation places constrains on the minimum height of the redoxcline and halocline (reflecting the competition of sea level and freshwater layer thickness). This is opposite to the water level constraints obtained from submerged speleothems, which grow in dry caves and therefore provide an upper limit for past water level elevation (sea level) 11,52 .…”

“…The Yucatán Karst Aquifer (YKA) hosts the largest known network of underwater caves in the world 16,18 . Climate driven sea-level fall and rise by >100 m 19 caused large parts of the cave system to fall dry and submerge, respectively 11,18,20,21 . Modern water levels were reached around 4.5-3.8 ky ago 20,22,23 .…”

“…Two manuscripts for which data is available in WALIS 1.0 are only available as preprints. At the same time, data from one paper published outside the Special Issue were submitted by the lead author to WALIS (Steidle et al, 2021). In one case (not shown in Table 2), the WALIS U-series structure was used to report on Last Interglacial coral and speleothem ages in the Mediterranean Sea, adding more samples to those currently in WALIS for that region (Pasquetti et al, 2021).…”
