ABSTRACT: Ouvéa
Island in New Caledonia emerges as a new sea level standard. It has excellent
morphological records of former sea level positions at interglacial high-stands
as well as records of Holocene changes in sea level from a maximum at about
+1.5 m via a significant +70 cm level of sub-recent, probably 17th century,
age to a stable to falling sea level in present time.
