The researchers aim to construct a high resolution sea level curve for the western Mediterranean Basin as part of an effort to better understand global sea level variations. The island of Mallorca contains coastal caves that capture present and past sea level through the deposition of unique carbonate encrustations that form precisely at the sea level position.The coastal caves of Mallorca were chosen for this study because of their demonstrated ability to obtain a high resolution sea-level history and the importance of the locality for addressing the issue of eustatic sea level change due to its unique tectonic and isostatic setting.The results of the study will be of broad interest to a wide range of scientists interested in sea level variability and the vulnerability of ice sheets under a range of boundary conditions. The project will also foster strong collaborations among American and Spanish scientists and will support graduate and undergraduate students.

研究人员的目标是为西地中海盆地构建高分辨率海平面曲线，以更好地了解全球海平面变化。马略卡岛包含沿海洞穴，这些洞穴通过在海平面位置精确形成的独特碳酸盐结壳的沉积来捕获当前和过去的海平面。马略卡岛的沿海洞穴被选用于这项研究，因为它们具有获得高分辨率的能力。海平面历史以及该地区由于其独特的构造和均衡环境而对于解决海平面升降问题的重要性。这项研究的结果将引起对海平面变化和海平面变化感兴趣的广大科学家的广泛兴趣。冰盖在一系列边界条件下的脆弱性。该项目还将促进美国和西班牙科学家之间的强有力合作，并为研究生和本科生提供支持。
