“…U-series) dating provided age constraints on fossilized coral terraces representing sea-level highstands globally. Since then, studies examining Kikai Island and other Ryukyu Islands combined with results from Barbados (Thompson et al, 2011;James et al, 1971) and Papua New Guinea (Chappell, 1974;Chappell et al, 1996;Yokoyama et al, 2001a, b) have reconfirmed constrained dates of terraces representing sea-level highstands, matching age groups of approximately 120, 100, 80, and 60 ka (Konishi et al, 1974;Yonekura et al, Table 1. Varieties of sea-level proxies identified in this study.…”

Abstract. Sea-level proxies for Marine Isotopic Stage 5e (MIS 5e, ca. 124 ka) are abundant along the Japanese shoreline and have been documented for over at least the past 60 years. The bulk of these sea-level proxies are identified in Japan as marine terraces, often correlated by stratigraphic relationships to identified tephra layers, or other chronologically interpreted strata. Use of stratigraphic correlation in conjunction with other techniques such as paleontological analysis, tectonic uplift rates, tephra (volcanic ash), uranium–thorium (U–Th), and carbon-14 (14C) dating have connected Japan's landforms to global patterns of sea-level change. This paper reviews over 60 years of publications containing sea-level proxies correlated with MIS 5e in Japan. Data collected for this review have been added to the World Atlas of Last Interglacial Shorelines (WALIS), following their standardizations on the elements necessary to analyze paleosea-levels. This paper reviewed over 70 studies, assembling data points for over 300 locations and examining related papers denoting sea-level indicators for MIS 5e. The database compiled for this review (Tam and Yokoyama, 2020) is available at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4294326. Sea-level proxy studies in Japan rely heavily on chronostratigraphic techniques and are recognized as reliable, though opportunities exist for further constraining through the further use of numerical age dating techniques.

“…Small-sized aliquots, 2 mm in diameter (i.e., containing some hundreds of grains), of quartz and K-feldspar grains were placed on stainless-steel discs using silicon oil as adhesive and stainless-steel cups. The quartz OSL signal was measured with the standard SAR protocol (Murray and Wintle, 2000, 2003), while K-feldspar grains were measured with the protocols, pIRIR 225 (Thiel et al, 2010, 2015; Ferranti et al, 2021) and pIRIR 290 (Buylaert et al, 2012; Thiel et al, 2012; Zucca et al, 2014a; Andreucci et al, 2017b; Casini et al, 2020; Sechi et al, 2020). To detect the portion of interest of OSL-quartz signal to calculate the equivalent dose (De), the first second (s) of signal decay was taken to which the following 2.6 s were subtracted as background (early background, i.e., Cunningham and Wallinga, 2010), whereas the first 5 s were subtracted by the last 20 s (late background) for pIRIR signal.…”

The relict beach deposit of the Cala Mosca marine terrace is considered an important section of Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 5e (ca. 125 ka) sea-level highstands. Analysis of the stratigraphy and sediments of the deposit indicates the presence of a composite marine terrace comprising two superimposed marine units, luminescence dated to the MIS 5e (137 ± 7, 134 ± 7 ka) and MIS 5c (92 ± 6 ka) substages. The stratigraphic superimposition of the two highstands, both placed ~5 m above present sea level, agrees with other areas along the Sardinia coasts. The evident superimposition of two sea-level highstands and development of the composite terrace cannot be accounted solely by high-frequency sea-level oscillation that occurred within MIS 5 for the Mediterranean Sea. This suggests controversial, but significant, regional versus local tectonic activity occurred during the Late Pleistocene.

“…Luminescence dating methods are increasingly used for coastal and marine sediments (e.g. Frechen et al, 2004;Armitage et al, 2006;Reimann et al, 2011;Mauz et al, 2010;Thiel et al, 2015). The method has also been successfully used to date beachrocks for the reconstruction of palaeoshorelines along the Brazilian coast (Barreto et al, 2002;Tatumi et al, 2003), India (Thomas, 2009), andthe Mediterranean (Erginal et al, 2010;Mauz et al, 2015b;Ozturk et al, 2016) and the results were also compared with absolute/independent dating methods, such as radiocarbon.…”
